My name is Ben Hofferber and I am one of the recent hires at Rangle. Over the course of the last couple months, I ditched or sold all of my things and moved to Toronto from Boise, Idaho. Visiting and consequently moving to Canada were my first and second times outside of the United States. I left my home to pursue a future with Rangle. Since it's not everyday that someone moves to another county for a job, I figured I'd tell you the story of why it was the easiest decision I've ever made.
Oh, it's that time of the year again. As the temperature drops and turkeys sell out in celebration of Thanksgiving, retailers all over North America are getting ready for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the holiday (and made up holiday) that serve as perfect case studies for the unstoppable shift towards online shopping.

At Rangle, we realize that while we try to maintain the team-first approach to quality as defined in the Scrum Guide, there are just some things that our Business Quality Analysts (BQAs) are better at. The role of the BQA on a development team at Rangle is not as a tester as in other organizations, as my colleague Eric has already alluded to in his article BQAs: Why We Combined the Business and Quality Analyst Roles. We help to ensure that the Scrum Team develops cross-functional skills in testing and in story writing; we're essentially Quality Coaches who work to assist our team members to adopt a testing mindset while thinking of quality from the product's inception.

Rangle has acquired key insights doing Agile software development projects for a diverse group of clients. In this article, we take a look at when testing ought to happen, which parts of it are actually worth doing, and how to tell.
As we've discussed in previous articles, the role of the QA has transformed over the years. Affected by a shift towards Continuous Delivery, technological advances (such as A.I. and machine learning) and changing expectations from clients and their own teams alike, the role of QAs of today isn't what it used to be a few years ago. Naturally, the skills that will be required of them in the future will also evolve.
Our recent whitepaper Advanced Agile: Five Ways to Accelerate Delivery, Improve Flexibility, and Reduce Waste (Available through our Contact Us form) summarizes five of the key insights Rangle has acquired doing Agile software development projects for a diverse group of clients.
