Scrum Meetings for Test

We have daily scrum meetings, and the way we keep them from being disruptive is to:

Keep them short (5 minutes total)

Hold them at the beginning of the day

Kujo, how big is your team? 5 minutes seems like it would disappear really quickly if the team were very big.

I have worked with a development team of 4 developers, 2 testers and 1 project manager, with daily Scrum meetings. We did the same thing as Kujo, hold them at the beginning of the day and keep them very short. They very rarely went over 10 minutes (often less than that); if there issues were brought up that needed more discussion they were written down and dealt with in a different meeting. I didn't find them disruptive at all; quite the contrary, they did help to deal with issues that weren't recognized as such at the beginning of the iteration, or that came from other groups we had to interact with. Less frequent meetings would probably prevented us from effectively reacting to change within an iteration.
