We had been developing software with a strict waterfall mentality for several years. Our testing cycle was broken up into distinct phases for functional, system and regression testing. One phase did not start until the previous one was completed. Our testing team had always been a real asset to the organization. The entire team was a highly skilled group of automation testers using traditional, expensive off the shelf automated testing software. As we switched over to agile development using the Scrum framework, we really struggled with how to incorporate our traditional automated testing strategies into the agile world. Is testing in a waterfall project really that different then testing in an agile project? Yss!
