I recently started work at a large consulting firm. I was hired as a developer as part of the QA department. I graduated from university as a software engineer, and have been most interested to pursue a developer role where I create new features, or at least code on a day to day. I recently started work on a client project as a manual tester. I do not enjoy the work a whole lot, and I expressed to my manager a desire to move to more of a developer role in my next client project. My manager mentioned QA the QA department doesn't do this type of work and I would need to transfer departments. We ..read more

This is meant to be a discussion about QA and Automation under the agile umbrella. Based on my own experience, and of those in my network, I have noticed that the QA team is typically a thorn in the side of business, developers, and who ever else has to get their stuff tested and audited :). I received my Scrum Master certification last year and since then I have started to question the current stereotypical QA team.
