What happens to Testers when Organizations adopt Scrum?
People who write code are called programmers and not developers. Developers are responsible for not just programming but testing, build & release, technical writing, and other activities that involve developing a product. Tester's role fit perfectly to be part of the development team. The development team in Scrum is responsible for developing the product by working closely with the Product Owner.
A tester is a person who is responsible for identifying the process to test the product and ensures that the product meets its specifications or requirements. Testers are "Customer Advocates" because they use and test the products from the customer perspective. They are responsible for finding out defects or bugs in the product, which is under test and thereby helping to improve the product quality. They are User proxies who are responsible for ensuring the product under development solves the problem of the users in the context they use.
As per the testing quadrants, the testers are responsible for technology-facing tests that support team & critique the product and business-facing tests that help the team & critiques the product.
