agile testing qa
I have seen a few times lately these two words together : Agile and QA.
It seems clients are still equaling QA to testing, and are pushing the testing tasks out from the the agile development team to a separate QA team. To my understanding, this is contrary to to the agile values.
I would understand, if the objective was to get an independent Verification and Validation as mandated by a nervous client or a legal requirement. But that was not the case.
My opinion is that functional and non-functional requirements (like capacity, performance, maintainability, robustness, conformance, …) should be all put in the backlog and developed according to the user’s priorities
I can see the contribution of a QA expert in helping the user, the Scrum Master and dev team elicit the non functional requirements, and maybe in setting up automated build and test environments (and quality culture). But never running a QA team separate from the dev teams. Am I wrong?

Looking for a tool that recognizes Flash objects (not Flex)? I was researching and there is a plug in for Mercury (HP) and another for Rational (IBM) but it really is for Flex, not for Flash.

performance
I need to demonstrate the value of automated Performance Testing to the management team.
How do you prove the value of problems avoided?
You would never load test thousands of concurrent users manually, so it’s not as straightforward as functional regression testing where you can measure manual testing hours avoided though automation.
Does anybody has a case study to demonstrate the value?

TEMPO
The Russian TEMP partnership is really promoting GxP knowledge (in collaboration with RASP) in Russsian Federation but doesn’t seem to establish any new or modified standards. And in this site I didn’t find any mentioning of TEMPO standards or change procedures. And in the specification for the position I mentioned before it so directly required as a crucial skill: a candidate should be an expert in TEMPO change request procedure. Looks like some internal document management and/or workflow management system/methodology.

Hello everyone, I have a question.
Is it allowed to use handwritten and E-Signatures on the same document, in terms of Part 11? Are there any restrictions? And if it is allowed, could you please provide me the answer with a reference?
