I was observing the activities of a new team that did not have a Scrum Master but were trying to use the SCRUM Framework. The company had unfortunately not added this role in their new SCRUM team(s). The reasons why are not important. Let’s just say, they now have those roles.

When the Scrum Master was selected, some issues showed up over a perception of that person getting a “promotion” to a management type position. They were now the “Master of the Team” (or so the perception was).

I managed to help that team out by simply reminding them the intention is that the Scrum Master role is as a Master of SCRUM, not a Master of the Team.

There are some management type abilities to be a Scrum Master for sure, but they are more directed to interfacing with the outside world and removing obstacles for the team. There are some management skills required to be able to have the confidence to keep the rules of Scrum and push back and deal with different levels within the organization.

Remember, the word is SCRUM Master, not TEAM Master, Team lead, Project manager, etc.

Of course, changing the order of the words would be inappropriate, but perhaps explaining the distinction to others might help clear up some of the confusion for your teams.

The term is SCRUM Master

I think my problem was that I was trying to test with a simple alert pop up but I found out later that alert messages don’t show up during Selenium testing.

as I said above I didn’t make a test of these tools. It is a comparison based on my experience of the last 10 years doing APM.

I would really like to do a test of these tools, but as you maybe it is not possible to get licenses from most of these vendors.

Just wrote a similar post on this subject.

as you can see from the examples, the injected JS code makes use of JavaScript already loaded along with the page. For example, the JS I inject uses Element.insert(…) which is provided by Prototype, and Prototype has been loaded when the page was rendered. So in your case, if the function you wish to call is accessible, you should be able to inject something like (function(){ yourfunction(); })() and it should work just fine. I hope I’ve understood your requirement correctly – if you have any further questions, feel free to ask again.
