Agile Testing
Agile Testing is the testing practice for projects using agile methodologies, treating development as the customer of testing and emphasizing a test-first design paradigm. [aptest.com]
Other way to define Agile testing is to specify what Agile testing involves in addition to the usual steps such as test planning, test design and test execution. Agile testing promotes the following ideas:
a) include testing-related activities throughout a development project starting from the requirements phase.
b) work collaboratively with the customer who specifies requirements in terms of tests.
c) testers and developers must collaborate with each other rather than serve as adversaries.
d) test often and in small chunks.
