Summary

In this interview, Aaron Barrett gives advice that any QA team working with agile testing can utilize. Aaron covers everything from the importance of finding the definition of done to keeping collaboration from getting combative.

Aaron Barrett is the director of quality assurance at Infusionsoft in Chandler, Arizona. But Aaron’s first testing job was seventeen years ago at a small educational software company. Since that time he has held testing and management roles in a variety of organizations in the government, education, and business software verticals. A certified ScrumMaster, Aaron currently oversees a test group that operates in an agile Scrum software development environment. He has driven hard to tear down the wall between development and test by placing his QA engineers directly in the middle of the development cycle. Aaron has established automation and performance testing teams from the ground up.
