Agile development is a faster, more efficient and cost-effective method of delivering high-quality software.
However, agile presents testing challenges beyond those of waterfall development. That’s because agile requirements are more lightweight, and agile builds happen more frequently to sustain rapid sprints. Agile testing
requires a flexible and streamlined approach that complements the speed of agile.
Smart Agile Testing is a set of timesaving techniques specifically designed to make the work of agile testing
teams easier and more productive. It is an empowering process that produces great results and has a simple
mission: Get the best possible testing results with the least amount of work.
These challenge- and solution-based techniques do not require major changes in your existing workflow. You
can adopt them in increments, which enables you to focus on one specific challenge and meet it head-on with a
teams need to adopt to handle them quickly and effectively.
