Abstract

In software engineering, agile methods have emerged as alternative to handle the growing pressures for innovation in increasingly shorter deadlines, the constant needs for changes in requirements and the poor performance of most software development projects accelerating time to market, bring improvements in quality and productivity, Information Technology (IT)/business alignment, and enhanced flexibility are noticed. In this context, through a systematic literature review, this work aims to identify, evaluate and analyze relevant studies on quality assurance practices in agile. The results include the identified works, practices and limitations.
