Being Agile with Creative Testing

Agile Project Management requires testers and QA staff to re-think their approach. Get creative. You have no functional spec, requirements exist on post it notes and test data is non-existent.

What do you do?

Hypothesize like hell. You are now in a position where you can influence requirements and functionality so jump in and enjoy the experience. This does require a little experience and a little confidence, but instead of translating stuffy specs into test cases you get to hypothesize what should happen in all the different conditions. Take the user stories and go to town with test cases.

Much more fun.

Get creative!
