Atlassian is an agile shop, with heavy emphasis on the quality of our products. With the increased focus on great UX, we have focused in the past few years on growing a QA testing function which complemented the automated testing in development. In this talk, I will share some of the challenges we faced, including: * Incorporating manual testing into two-week iterations, while achieving the goal of having shippable products at every iteration. * Ensuring clear communications between QA, developers and PMs, and providing visibility of testing in a script-free testing environment.
