development, is not an easy thing. Books and IT websites discuss many approaches and each has its supporters and
opponents. On the one hand, you have product owners, project managers and customers who want a ready-to-use application
as soon as possible. On the other hand, we developers and testers, would like to release an application of the highest
quality, which may affect the delivery time. Balancing these needs is a hard nut to crack. Usually, both
sides need to make some compromises to establish a common way of working. For developers and testers, it involves
