You might have looked at the Scrum Guide and be thinking, hey, there's no mention of QA. That's because SCRUM is largely agnostic. You'll see the development team mentioned and this is where QA engineers reside. The development team is a cross functional team which has all the necessary ingredients to deliver working software be it design, programmers, QA engineers, devops etc. We are now in the realm of discipline synergy. Cross discipline interactions are combined with a process that enables short feedback loops to create a combined effect greater than the sum of the separate effects. Everyones opinion matters. This allows us to deliver better solutions faster. And as a team to continuously improve on our solutions and how we deliver them.
It's in this development team that we as QA engineers use our knowledge to help the team perform safely and efficiently. Have a look at my introductory page to QA and Scrum here and see where you fit in in your typical SCRUM team.
