Agile testing mind-set
The easiest ways to align your mind-set into an “Agile testing mind-set’ is to align yourself with the values of the Agile manifesto. An agile tester understands the team and enforces interaction within the team. Their primary goal is to deliver a working solution through which is achieved by being with the customer and understanding the system. Not only does the tester respond to change but is bold enough to enforce change. Their mind-set is always at its creative peak.
The tester should be able to provide more than just an ability to validate against the acceptance criteria. Their mind should be set on finding creative ways and scenarios to challenge the system. An Agile testers sole purpose on any task is to break the solution. That’s their permanent state of mind
One of the most important aspects an Agile tester mind-set needs to adopt is embracing change. In Agile things change and they change fast. Customers change their way of thinking constantly and quickly and so should the tester. The tester needs to be in tune with the customer but not only that a great tester is also very bold in questioning and validating the change.
