Agile Crystal: Creating a Process Aimed at Maximum Product Quality
summary
Describes adapting the Crystal Agile methodology to build a custom development process focused on maximum product quality in a team with only one tester, by selecting and combining practices from Crystal, XP, Kanban and Scrum. Covers which practices are most valuable to a tester, how to integrate XP and Kanban into Scrum without disruption, and how to turn the selected practices into a working approach. Also explains practical ways to support a single tester on a large project: teaching customers to write requirements, fast creation and maintenance of test documentation, quick automation introduction, and testing non-functional requirements.
