🚨 YOUR TEAM AUTOMATED 200 TEST CASES. SO WHY ARE BUGS STILL REACHING PRODUCTION?

Automation doesn't automatically mean quality!

Let's understand what might be going wrong. 👇

Imagine this Scrum scenario:

🧪 QA: We have automated 200 test cases.

👨💻 Developer: All automated tests are passing.

🚨 Customer: We found a critical production bug!

What went wrong?

Here are 5 possible reasons:

1️⃣ Automating the wrong test scenarios.

2️⃣ Ignoring exploratory testing.

3️⃣ Not updating outdated automation scripts.

4️⃣ Poor collaboration between QA and Developers.

5️⃣ Treating automation coverage as the only quality measure.

What should a Scrum Master do?

✅ Facilitate discussions around recurring defects.

✅ Encourage quality throughout the sprint.

✅ Help identify testing bottlenecks.

✅ Promote collaboration across the Scrum Team.

✅ Encourage continuous improvement during retrospectives.

🔥 Remember:

200 automated test cases don't guarantee a quality product.

The goal is NOT to automate everything.

The goal is to deliver reliable software that solves customer problems.

👇 QUESTION FOR QA, DEVELOPERS AND SCRUM MASTERS:

What matters more in your organisation?

A. Number of automated test cases
