How it works from the inside:

As a small agile testing team we prefer Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation, so our tools mostly are brains, hands, mind maps and checklists. Our challenges are:

• A lot of compatibility testing (with databases, with browsers, with JIRA and Confluence versions, with other plugins)
• Quality at speed: we often need to ship faster without cutting the quality
• Prioritization and exploration on everyday basis

Everyone in our company feels responsibility for the quality of the product. Our brave Development team writes unit and integration tests and does code review for each pull request. They have also created Structure.Testy product for us, and we use it for creating checklists right in JIRA. Our DevOps engineer has created a special tool for faster instances creation based on the Docker platform.

We cannot function without close communication between team members. In addition to personal meetings and chat in Slack, we have standup meetings twice a week . Each team member can participate in communication with customers in order to better understand their needs: from customer support requests to personal meetings at international events and dedicated customer visits.
