Under QA InfoTech’s Professional Development Program (PDP) that aims to upskill and reskill its software testing workforce the next training session was conducted on agile methodologies and introduction to use cases.
Shubham Aggarwal & Aditi Midha, Assistant Managers from the Quality Engineering Team, along with Kapil Dev, Director - Quality Engineering, conducted the session for QA InfoTech’s test engineers.

A Brief About This Session
The rise of new technologies and demand for shorter release cycles are bringing in additional engineering complexities, challenges and opportunities by the day. The trending requirements around Automation, Machine Learning, Big Data, IoT and DevOps enable engineers to bring in the required speed and flexibility in the SDLC process. In order to keep up and stay aboard, teams today are forced to optimize the testing and development process to yield a better return on investment.
Agile, as the name suggests, is a software development methodology to build software with short iterations, so that the development is in alignment with the changing business needs. As an iterative approach to project management and software development, agile helps teams deliver value to the customers faster. Instead of relying on a big launch, an agile team delivers work in small, but, consumable increments. Requirements, plans and results are evaluated continuously, so teams are comfortable in responding to quick change.
Teams now prefer modern agile methodologies than waterfall and other techniques, as they are much more adaptive and flexible, ably supported by tools to promote collaboration, visualization, management analytics and reuse. These tools easily integrate with business and development solutions, fostering one of the most important synergies between business and IT. This ecosystem also gives projects a chance to simultaneously run testing and development with quick and swift changes as and when required.
In this training session, Shubham and Aditi talked about the various tools, agile methodologies and their importance. They also shared user stories, their formats, the difference between a user story and used cases and explained acceptance criteria. With an example of a study at VokeStream, indicating 76% of engineers still build test cases, Aditi and Shubham emphasised the smart way of re-using use cases to generate test cases, particularly UAT scripts.
