The integration of software in a Scrum team is not easy. As Agile software development favours continuous development in short iterations, the software testing activity should be completely integrated with the requirements and coding activities, not postponed at the end like in a traditional Waterfall approach.

JMeter: the new standard for load testing
Apache JMeter is open source software Java desktop
application, designed to load test and measure
performance of web sites. It was originally designed for load testing
web applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load.
A important ecosystem has been developped around JMeter. Many companies are offering load testing services based on JMeter, like Amazon or Blazemeter. There are also many JMeter plugins that have been created to extend its functionalities and better exploit the data provided by this open source load testing tools.

Mobile Applications Testing Bug Management
The key activity between the discovery of a bug during a software testing session and its resolution is bug management. I have found an interesting article where Jonathan Kohl discusses how to
log and describes bugs on when you test mobile applications, which is part of an upcoming book on mobile apps testing.His opinions is that the difference between getting an issue addressed and fixed or bug getting ignored often
has to deal with the accuracy of the information that is contained in the bug report. In the article he provides some tips to
follow when you notice something that should be dealt with and how to
report it well.
