code done, test not, one task

Question

Hi,

i have a quite a problem, my team has a lot of programmers and only one new tester. They have a lot of tasks in verification and programmers wait for tester when he tests it. Problem is that in verification is a lot and they move it this task from one sprint to the next one. Then i dont know how much task was done and so on because they load a lot and tester has not enought capacity to make all task for 5sprints .. so i would like to next sprint have load for programmers and tester, but dont know what to do with task in verification.

Dont know if i explain exactly, if not, dont hesistate ask me

From project management respective, it is obviously that resources are not allocated well in your team. You are lack of testing resource and testing task cannot be done by just 1 tester. You need recruit new testing resources and then think about how to improve your testing process and test management tool.

Hope it helps.

Hi

This is more of a general Scrum question than a Jira one. Is there no way that the developers can help with the testing? We occasionally do that, where the developer is obviously not allowed to test their own work.

You need to discuss internally (at your retrospective to start) how to resolve this, because the situation is only going to get worse if you stick with one tester. If no solution comes out of the retrospective, then management will need to get involved as well.

I hope this helps
