about the digital excellence for gaining the competitive edging and for meeting the changing desires of the
customers. Speed is one of the most essential factors but quality is also important for ensuring the stability
for digital initiatives. Therefore, Quality assurance and the Software Testing have now become the crucial
elements in the software development process. Agile testing strategies are one of approaches and
methodologies chosen by various organizations for achieving the quality assurance and for assuring the
faultless consumer experiences. Agile adoption not only focuses on the developmental areas of the Maria’s
Aquarium but also focus on technical practices in this organization. Except this, the agile testing also

testing strategies are consisted of various automation plans, which help the teams to enhance their testing
process and to ensure about the quality parameters (Mushtaq et al. 2018). Agile testing has bought so many
developmental progresses in the Maria’s Aquarium, which are as follows:Agile testing has one frequent
cycle and one shortest testing cycle. There are some instances in the Maria’s Aquarium where all the roles
get exchanged. Agile testing has brought open channels of communication in the Maria’s Aquarium.Test
Driven Development [TDD] and the Behavior Driven Development is one of the best agile testing strategies

communication and collaboration among the team members that needs in the Maria’s Aquarium. Therefore,
it is mush required to encourage the frequent communication in the Maria’s Aquarium. Agile testing is much
required for the digital transformation, which is important for establishing the significance of agile testing
strategy in the software testing strategy. Therefore, for the software development, agile testing strategy is
one of the effective strategies, which have being used for enhancing the development in the Maria’s
Aquarium. Agile testing provides the scalability and the flexibility to the Maria’s Aquarium but also
incorporate the software testing strategy for bringing the development in the digital transformation. System

guide the customer by seeing the status of the stocks through the ERP software. Further, the storekeeper can
also tell regarding theavailability of stocks as per customer taste. Post implementation review strategyAfter
implementing the new system, there needs to be a review in order to analyse the advantages that have been
added to the working of Mari’s Aquariums due to it. This can be done in the following manner.Time of the
review:The review should be done at least one month after the system has been introduced in the company.
This will provide ample data for the analysis and will help Raymond understand in a better way if the
system can prove to be effective in his company or not (Sudhaman and Thangavel, 2015).Components of
the Review:In order to perform the review, there should be a number of aspects of the new system that need
to be judged Schussler et al. (2016). The first thing will be the efficiency of the system to manage the sales
and stock details of the company and the ease with which it can be done. Further, the efficiency of the
system to manage the employee attendance, stock reports, customer demands and other financial details also
need to be reviewed. The efficiency of the system to manage the payments of the company, generate
invoices for the customers and suppliers should also be reviewed to make sure that the system is working
efficiently for Maria’s Aquariums. Presentation and clarity of discussion: After the review, it is expected
that the gap in the sales and stock prize of the company will be eliminated. This will allow Raymond to plan
his future business endeavours in a better way. It will also help the company in managing their staff
(Mushtaq et al. 2018). The staff members are also expected to be assisted with the inventory, customer
needs and invoice generation both for the customers as well as the suppliers of the company. Overall, it is
expected that the system will ease the processes of the company which can open prospects of business
expansion for Maria’s Aquariums in the future.
