Industrial Case Study of Transition from V-Model into Agile SCRUM in Embedded Software Testing Industries
Jason Lee Hua Jie · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2016
As the software features and technology advances, delivering quality embedded software for consumer products become more important and challenging than ever within organizations. This is particularly vital when these products are delivered as part of chips. These chips or better known as system-on-chip (SoC) are embedded as part of today's gadgets. They are used by consumers for their everyday use, namely mobile phones and tablets. In this case study, I will share several significant changes which have taken place in the testing embedded software industries when the transition takes place from V-model methodology to Agile Scrum in the organization. These changes are particularly related to software testing perspectives. Apart from that, I will share the challenges that have been faced and how we have managed them since the organization fully adopted Agile Scrum within the first 18 months. Finally, I will describe the way Agile Scrum has evolved and keys for QA successes in ensuring business wins with our major players of embedded software original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
