Welcome to another installment of the "Testing Experts with Opinions" podcast! This episode dives deep into the evolving role of Test Managers in modern software development, specifically in Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
The conversation begins with a discussion around the traditional role of Test Managers in software development structured under Waterfall models. The panel then transitions into examining the changing responsibilities of these individuals in the Agile context, where they often operate as Test Leads or Heads of Quality.
Challenging convention, the speakers explore the diminishing need for the traditional Test Manager role in Agile environments, where responsibilities like budgeting, team management, and defect handling are often shared among project managers and or scrum masters. Instead, the conversation leads to a consensus around the importance of having an individual to coordinate and guide activities across different testing types and levels.
The episode wraps up with a forward-thinking perspective, suggesting some Test Managers may adapt into 'program level' roles, acting as Agile problem-solvers while demonstrating flexibility in a transforming test environment.
Immerse yourself in our invigorating discussion as we unpack the changing landscape of software testing, present solutions to enhance testing effectiveness, and anticipate the next steps for Test Managers in the Agile world.
