Testing and quality in Safe

Organizations are increasingly starting to understand that business agility and responsiveness are key factors to survive and stay ahead of their competitors. To yield value, the work of individual agile teams should therefore be embedded in larger business processes. Many organizations embrace the Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterprises (Safe) to enable multiple teams to collaborate on a single release, to plan and manage dependencies and to translate strategic needs into user stories that can be completed by individual teams.

Safe is a freely revealed knowledge base of integrated, proven patterns for enterprise Agile-Lean development. Among the available scaling frameworks it seems to be the most thoroughly documented. Other frameworks such as Less and Nexus are less well documented and also less prescriptive. This might explain Safe’s popularity with organizations that are used to formal processes and want a clear structure.
