Two years back I was asked to put together a presentation on how to create a high performing QA function for a large financial company who were considering an Agile transformation.

The presentation touches upon all aspects of Agile; process and practices. It covers continuous integration, continuous delivery, test automation, Scrum process, defect management, etc…

Though the presentation below does contain some specifics to the actual company, it does have a lot of reusable content that you may find useful when evaluating your own company QA function needs within your Agile implementation.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Gareth Waterhouse, he has an indepth knowledge of testing within an Agile environment as well as a very strong knowledge of test automation and I would highly recommend visiting his blog for everything about QA within an Agile development team.
