📝 Agile Testing — A Practical Survival Guide for Every Tester in Agile Teams
🔍 Introduction
Agile Testing by Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory is often called the “bible of Agile QA” — and for good reason.
It’s not just about how to test in Agile; it’s about how to be a tester in an Agile world.
Blending real-world experience, stories, and actionable techniques, this book answers the question:
“What exactly should a tester do in a team that deploys every week?”
