Abstract

 During agile software development, software quality is a crucial focal point, depending on a key player and the collaboration of the entire team to achieve objectives. This key player is the Quality Analyst (QA). This article discusses the significance of QA as an active agent in agile development, with a focus on methodologies such as SCRUM, Kanban, and Scrumban. It assumes that the performance of QA plays a fundamental role in software development, engaging in a variety of activities throughout the development process. It explores how this role becomes strategic and has evolved over the years.To address this question, descriptive and exploratory research methodologies are employed, utilizing field research and interviews with experts possessing extensive experience in the field. The results confirm that QA work influences the quality of deliverables and yields many benefits. Acting as a quality assurance, the role involves a multidisciplinary professional who often extends beyond traditional functions due to their comprehensive project knowledge and involvement in the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), this factor is linked to project success and career evolution.
