Importance of Agile Genome in Software Industry

Abstract

The software development industry is constantly seeking the most practical approach to developing products efficiently. The agile development approach is gaining popularity as it focuses on broader social and educational thinking and allows for more flexibility in product development. The concept of “Agile Genome” is becoming more popular, which encourages organizations to use a combination of Agile methods and automation tools for maximum benefits. In Agile software development, automation is crucial for managing complex projects with frequent changes, as it allows for parallel testing, saves time, and enhances team collaboration and communication. The literature survey suggests that Agile development has been proven to be beneficial for customer satisfaction and product quality, and using automation techniques like Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of testing, leading to reduced costs and improved product quality. Frameworks like Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) support test automation in large-scale industries. We see different approaches through which one can use automation and agility together to achieve maximum advantages for the software industry.
