Imagine you’re in the kitchen, preparing a delicious biryani.

Note: Biryani is a popular South Asian dish, especially enjoyed in India and Pakistan, made with flavorful rice, meat (or vegetables), and a blend of aromatic spices.

It’s not just about tossing ingredients together — every part must be perfectly balanced. You need the right amount of rice, the perfect blend of spices, tender meat, and a bit of care in how everything cooks together. If one part of the dish is off, the whole biryani could fall flat.

In the world of Agile software development, the Agile Testing Quadrants act like your recipe for testing.

Just like biryani needs a careful mix of ingredients, your software needs balanced testing across different areas. These quadrants guide you to ensure your software has everything from core functionality to smooth user experiences and reliable performance.

Let’s explore how each quadrant works, how they can be integrated into your project, and the mindset shifts you need to embrace to ensure your project is a success, just like your biryani!

Quadrant 1: Technology-Facing, Supportive (Unit Tests)

The Spice of Core Functionality
