You! Might Be an Agile Tester

• If you work in close proximity to Developers, you might be an Agile Tester.
• If you are test-infected.
• If you think automated testing is key in software development.
• If you invite yourself to meetings that you weren’t invited to by someone else.
• If you are learning new skills and practicing continuous improvement along with your team.
• If you keep your team focused on delivering core functionality that has the highest business value.
• If you stay in touch with the big picture.
• If you and the Product Owner develop Acceptance Criteria for User Stories together.
• If you push automated tests to the lowest possible level to encourage fast feedback.
• If you are part of the “Power of Three” in functionality discussions.
• If you are a skilled exploratory tester discovering issues that could not be detected by automated tests.
• If you define non-functional requirements as User Stories, you might be an Agile Tester.
