A common feature on many scrum boards is a column with the title “Test” or “Verify” or perhaps “Acceptance”. This column is almost invariably towards the right hand end of the board. Implement first, test afterwards. Does that sound agile or are we just making the same old mistakes?
Once you've got your testers in the team, and teaming up with the programmers, it's time to get serious about testing early. Not just early programmer testing but early customer testing too.
Having a separate column for verification on your scrum board merely reinforces the traditional idea that testing is something you start doing when a feature is implemented.
You don't have to wait until features are complete before starting work on customer tests. And if you can successfully encourage testers and programmers to work in harmony you might even find that a feature is tested and accepted at the same time that the implementation is completed.
