As mentioned in one of my previous posts, sprint teams are meant to consist of team members who are multi functional. Although, we tend to have defined roles (i.e I'm a developer and person x is a tester, person y a business analyst etc) the whole multi-functional teams has been put to the test this week.
In the past BAs have taken on testing roles especially towards the end of a sprint, however this time round we've managed to finish all the development and the bottle neck is at the testing end. So myself, and the rest of the developers have put on our testing hats and started testing (obviously not code that we have written and the test conditions have been written by the testers).
It's not so bad as long as the test conditions are written well and it's a case of executing them and raising any defects. At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is to get the stories into 'done' and points on the board, so it's much more beneficial to help out in this way then to sit there twiddling our thumbs.
