This competency assessment assesses the following Outcome(s): Part 1: IT488M4: Apply integration and system testing skills in an agile environment Purpose: Implementing an Agile Development methodology involves completing certain processes that will guide the team toward completion of their objectives for each iteration of the development. In this module you present your process for testing of the functionality that is completed during the Sprint. The focus of the testing is on the acceptance testing. However, Test Driven test activities are included in the development that will help to ensure that the code that is tested for acceptance is being tested appropriately along the way and that regression tests are developed as part of the product. Assessment Instructions: You are the team leader for a software development project. Complete a test plan of 3-5 pages for the testing of the code developed during each of the Sprints. Include quality assurance processes, how you incorporate test-driven development into your development process, and also how you will incorporate any test automation into the development of regression testing for subsequent Sprints. Ensure that you focus on both developer-focused test activities and test activities that may be performed by the cross functional team during the acceptance test phase at the end of the Sprint. Requirements: Plan should be 3-5 pages in length. Include in-text citations and a reference page for any sources used. Sources and content should follow APA citation style. Plan must be well-organized, logical, and written with clarity, free of spelling and grammar errors. The plan should 1. Describe any quality methods that are used in the test plan. 2. Identify key tasks to be accomplished to prepare for acceptance testing in each iteration (Sprint). 3. Describe the process used to determine readiness for acceptance testing. 4. Describe a defect tracking Process during the Sprint. 5. Note how items that do not finish will be handled in the next Sprint. Part 2: Product Development Increment Prepare a demonstration and summary of the first increment of product delivery based on the user stories from Module 2. Coordinate a presentation to your instructor during this module. Your presentation may include online access to a demonstration and/or a presentation to your instructor. This task should be completed during the first week of the module. Complete the next sprint for your product development. Select a minimum of two user stories with appropriate and prioritized work items form the product backlog. The deliverables for the end of this sprint will include sprint and product artifacts to include user stories, product backlog and burndown, sprint planning, sprint backlog and burndown, sprint review, demonstration, and retrospective. Part 3: Product Dashboard Describe the progress of development using the selected tools and dashboards. As a minimum, present a current backlog and burndown chart showing planned development and development progress. This will continue for each remaining Module in the sequence. Prepare this as an attachment to the deliverable for this module. This attachment should present the charts noted and any additional data such as PowerPoint slides.
