Test Process in an Agile Context

The key characteristics of agile testing align with the key characteristics of agile development:

• Working closely with developers, business analysts, testers and other stakeholders.
• Testers are an integrated part of agile team.
• Testing on an ongoing basis during sprints and not at the end of project.
• Focus on test automation.
• Shorter test and release cycles.
• An agile context would perhaps suggest foregoing any process. This is not the case. What we will be doing is using "just enough" process and guidelines to add value to the cooperation during the sprints.
