Recently, a simple conversation I had analyzing the current challenges associated with software testing in the modern era led to a key realization: the tools in the software testing industry have not been focused on simplicity for the Agile world. Agile is primarily a development-focused activity. In its most basic terms, Agile is a software development methodology where typical SDLC activities that would traditionally span over the duration of a project are broken down into much smaller pieces called sprints. Typically, a sprint is 2 to 3 weeks and in a sprint, development activities are focused on new features and enhancements. A sprint starts with the design and creation phase, where the new functionality is split up into user stories, scoped, and then development immediately starts building something.
