Is there a place for QA in modern agile autonomous fast-flow teams? - Sheen Brisals #AgileIndia 2025

Quality Assurance (QA) has existed in the industry for several decades. The software industry’s adaptation of QA—Software Quality Assurance (SQA)—specializes in the quality activities of software development across different phases.

Unlike legacy software development models of the past, which employed siloed layers of software testers and QA teams, modern multidisciplinary teams embed QA engineers within each team.

However, with the adoption of cloud and serverless technologies, smaller, autonomous, and stream-aligned teams are shifting QA to the left and applying it in all stages. This enables teams to release new features and improvements multiple times a day to achieve velocity and fast flow.

When teams are set for fast flow, is traditional QA becoming a blocker and slowing down the software delivery? This talk explores the reality of how modern teams operate and examines when, where, and how quality measures are implemented and by whom.
