    No – but I wouldn’t mind having nice teeth like that. I suppose I will in twelve months when they take the braces off…

    These are great tips for testing on an agile project. I especially liked the suggestions given by you on earning the respect and credibility of the development team.

    The tester should be proactive in the agile project; if she is making any assumptions during her test, it would help the team if these assumptions are voiced (in the daily stand-up) and suitable actions taken by the team. Similarly, it would also help the team if she manages her own time effectively e.g. in case time is running short because of having had to repeat some tests, the remaining testing tasks could be prioritized accordingly.
