Tester's Contribution to Iteration and Release Planning
Release planing is a longer-term view that focusses on the entire release of a product.
Release planning focuses on the broader scope, looking at the overall release of a product, whereas iteration planning narrows down to individual cycles.
Testers are crucial during iteration and release planning by providing valuable insights to testing activities required.
Testers contributions can include:
- Estimating Testing Effort
- Defining Test Criteria
- Identifying Test Scenarios
- Prioritizing Test Cases
- Identifying test data and environment requirements
- Identifying dependencies and risks
- Feedback on user stories
- Collaborating in iteration retrospectives
