6. Some general questions: 6.1 - A customer has reported a problem in our application by the Servicedesk. Therefore a change is created, because it is indeed an error in the software.

Answer: 6.2 - The sprint is almost over but the test work is not finished yet. It is determined that work is taken out of the sprint, but you have done a lot of test preparation and test execution.

How do you handle this as a tester? Answer: 6.3 - Testing based on Agile/SCRUM is also often under pressure and here is that also the case. How do you think that automated testing can help in this?
