Many examples cover a short duration. Our team formed over eight years ago and the core group is still together. Of the initial eight developers on the team, six remain on the team and the other two remain with the company. In our ninth year, the team and product have grown and continued to succeed working in one growing source code base. What have been the growing pains? Are we still Agile? What has changed along the way? This paper discusses some of the issues we faced and decisions made as this Agile team grew and evolved.","PeriodicalId":280848,"journal":{"name":"2009 Agile Conference","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122726073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the introduction of Agile methods and practices into the company over five years ago, many contests of the Agile process have played out across the expansive Yahoo! software development landscape. Throughout its history, the spirit of Agile has survived, often in surprising and unexpected ways. Whether being mandated from the executive-level or arising from self-motivated small teams, one theme is constant - Agile has embedded itself into the DNA of Yahoo!. And to the present day, Agile continues to emerge and re-emerge in many forms from the dedicated individuals who use the tools of Agile to create some of the most innovative user experiences on the Internet. This paper offers an informal retrospective of the relative successes and failures of enterprise Agile adoption at Yahoo! from the period 2004 to 2009.","PeriodicalId":280848,"journal":{"name":"2009 Agile Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128462241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When I joined the company there was already a Selenium-based test framework in place, but there were only a couple of automated test cases created; we had about 400 test steps, or individual assertions about the behavior of the application. When I left Socialtext two years later, we had just surpassed 10,000 test steps in the main set of regression tests. We also had browser-specific test sets in place, an automated test case for visually checking the application, and a Continuous-Integration-like script that ran all day and all night against the latest version of the code. At about 4000 test steps, regression bugs released to production dropped essentially to zero. The other 6000 test steps covered ongoing new features in the project, and more robust testing of the older application functions. This report discusses how I helped grow this system, and the things we learned along the way that helped it be such a successful ongoing project. The report covers initial conditions and test design; discusses issues in application feature coverage; how and when to grow the system quickly; a couple of test design smells that caused us problems along the way; how we treat Continuous Integration in a system like this; and how we coped when significant parts of the User Interface were completely re-engineered.","PeriodicalId":280848,"journal":{"name":"2009 Agile Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130418449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The danger of the workplace is that, rather than keeping the eye on the prize, it is too easy for someone to replace the underlying motivational reward by the paycheck.
