Agile QA Practices — Manual QA Testing Roadmap

How testing actually operates inside a modern Agile team

Steps in Agile QA Practices

QA's Role in Agile/Scrum Ceremonies — advanced · What a tester actually contributes to sprint planning, standups, reviews and retros
Shift-Left Testing — advanced · Getting testers involved earlier — even before code is written — to catch issues sooner
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) & Gherkin Basics — advanced · Writing Given/When/Then scenarios that double as both requirements and test specs
Definition of Done & Acceptance Criteria — advanced · The shared bar a story must clear before it's considered actually finished
Collaborating with Developers & Product — advanced · Working as a genuine partner in quality rather than a gatekeeper at the end
