I bet the developers are just going to ignore the tester's guidelines and do their own thing. Agile teams can be a tough crowd for traditional testers.

Option D sounds like the most realistic approach. The tester should focus on verifying requirements rather than just reporting issues.

Haha, good luck to that tester trying to report problems in a defect tracking system. Agile teams are all about rapid iterations, not formal documentation!

The agile team seems to have a different focus than the tester's previous experience. I'm curious to see how they'll adapt to this new context.

Maybe the tester could still report problems but also focus on verifying adherence to requirements to align with the agile team's goals.

I agree, the tester might find it challenging to shift their focus from quality to time and budget constraints.
