Sprint Speed ​​Calculation

Question

Need some advice on developing team speed for a sprint.

Our team usually consists of 4 developers and 2 testers. The scrum master insists that each member of the team should make an equal contribution to the calculation of speed, that is, we should not distinguish between developers and testers in developing how much we can do in the sprint. Correctly according to Scrum, but here is the problem.

Despite suggestions to the contrary, testers never help with non-test tasks, and developers never help with tasks other than dev, so we are not members of a cross functional team. In addition, despite various suggestions, testers usually spend the first few days of each sprint, expecting to experience something.

The end result is that usually we use a lot more work with developers than we really have the opportunity in the sprint. For example, developers can contribute 20 days to the calculation of speed and testers 10 days. If you add tasks after sprint planning, then dev tasks are up to 25 days, and test tasks - up to 5 days.

How do you guys deal with this situation?

Answer 9

Testers and developers evaluate story points together. Sprint speed is always a collaborative effort. QA / testers cannot have their own separate speed calculations. This is fundamentally wrong. If you have 3 dev and 2 testers, and you insert the capacity of the testers and assign them to the output, the performance will always be poor. Testers participate in the development of test cases, defect management and testing, which are not directly related to development. You can track efforts for each of these testing tasks, but you cannot assign speed points.
