What is the Fixing the Testing Gap in Agile course about?
In high-velocity Agile environments, development outpaces test planning. Test cases are reactive, not proactive. Bugs escape to UAT or production. Teams spend sprint end in test panic. Manual regression eats capacity. Stakeholders question stability. The result: delayed sign-offs, inflated cycle times, and erosion of trust in delivery. This isn’t a tooling problem, it’s a planning and integration gap baked into the sprint.

How to close the quality loop when sprint velocity outpaces test coverage
The situation this course is for
In high-velocity Agile environments, development outpaces test planning. Test cases are reactive, not proactive. Bugs escape to UAT or production. Teams spend sprint end in test panic.

This isn’t a tooling problem, it’s a planning and integration gap baked into the sprint rhythm.
Who this is for
Senior developer or technical lead in a consulting or product-led Agile team, shipping features under tight deadlines but facing recurring quality debt due to inconsistent test alignment
Who this is not for
Teams using waterfall methodologies or with dedicated, isolated QA functions not integrated into sprint planning
