Agile testing in Agile software development.

Any product you develop you need to test. It is an axiom. If you are using the traditional approach, you'll start to test it as soon as you complete the development stage. The band of testers will pounce on your product and start testing it in all sorts of ways. You'll get the test report and begin to fix the bugs iteration by iteration. But Agile testing assumes constant cooperation of all participants in the process: developers, testers, product owners. Thus you have an ongoing improvement code process.

Close connection with product owners — testers must know what exactly products owner want to get in result, what new ideas he need to implement, and how to make these alive. Day by day communication with developers — testers are part of the team and cyclic search for the bugs and suggest the ways to solve them. The quality passion of all team — from the developers, we are waiting for the unit tests for the better and faster testing process. They are also very attentive to the testers' instructions, so there is a constant exchange of information.

Make it streaming like a river — testing has to be continuous. You have to organize your agile testers teams regularly to make certain that the product is continuously progressing. Development and testing are parallel processes. Make feedback continuous — your testers have to provide the regular info regarding quality. Your developers must be confident in the quality of the product they produce. Involve the whole team — ensure that all your team has a job and testers, developers, and business analysts all participate in the testing software process. Make feedback faster — take as the rule that your business team participates in each iteration — Mark as nonessential objections that there are no tasks for them. There is always a task for the business team. Make documentation less — all team members have to use a reusable checklist. You have to be focused on current customer needs than ample, reliable, documented instructions. Be focused on customer satisfaction — as customers are exposed to their product during development, they can update previous and create new requirements. Ensure to change tests depends on new requirements.
