The concept of a QA department in an agile company has evolved beyond its traditional role as a separate testing team. Instead, it now focuses on ensuring quality throughout the entire product development cycle, supporting all departments involved in creating and developing the product. This "new" QA department is integrated into the process from the beginning, adding value by doing research, thinking about user stories, and assessing quality risk analysis. By being an active part of the development process, QA can help create higher product quality that meets market needs, reducing debugging time and increasing ROI in development productivity.
