Question

Did you use automated test tools on your projects?

Answer 1

Agile project team members should have experience (or at the very least, the desire) to use automated testing tools for regression and performance testing of each iteration. At the end of each iteration you want to have something that your customer/client can “see.” Automated testing allows quick identification and isolation of development defects as well as the ability to test development work completed in previous iterations. Expect the candidate to talk about automated regression testing, continuous integration and testing and even performance testing techniques and tools. Also expect them to discuss the need for manual testing as well as automated testing, due to the ever-changing nature of the code base in Agile.
