Why you need to be prepared before starting as a test engineer in agile environment?

Why do you need to prepare before exam? Why do you need to preheat oven before baking? Why do you warm up before exercising?

For all of the above questions the answer is same so that you are better prepared and ready for what follows.

In the same way you need to be prepared when you are going to get started as a software test engineer in agile environment. Agile environment and agile development or testing methodology is fast paced and competitive.

If you miss a deadline, if you leak a defect or if you fall behind a task then whole product life cycle can change and sometimes can have drastic effects on future and upcoming projects which are in the pipeline.

So the best way to get ready is know and be well prepared to perform as expected and even surpass the expectations set on you. In Silicon Valley and globally too there is has been a trend where work culture has evolved from being easy to tough, and cut throat competitive.

Every day more and more qualified engineers are coming in the job market and some of them are toppers, some of them have more skills than others etc. Also there is already a pool of experienced software testing professionals in the market who compete to get the best job, best salary, best role, be benefits and best of everything.

So think if you are not prepared and jumping in agile testing or agile development and you don't know how work is done in this methodology. How you will cope with it, what are the tips and best practices you need to follow to succeed and grow. What terminology it is based on, what processes are being followed, how testing is done, how work is assigned, and many more such questions. How do you plan to get answers for them. Do you plan to work and learn that is good strategy but it is all catching up rather being in the action and performing at your best.

So if you feel what this is all about and if you think you wish to learn. In order to get your learning back on track and be prepared to win in agile testing please read my book available at link below:
