Developers write unit tests before they write the code, and these unit tests provide the requirements for a new feature.</span></p><p style=”margin-bottom: 1.25em; margin-left: 0;”>Agile testing is a software testing approach that aligns with the principles of Agile software development. It emphasizes iterative and incremental development, collaboration, and adaptability. The goal of Agile testing is to deliver high-quality software in shorter cycles by continuously validating and verifying the product as it evolves.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 1.25em; margin-left: 0;”>Why Agile Testing?</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Rapid feedback: Agile testing allows teams to get immediate feedback on their work, enabling them to address issues early in the development process.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Adaptability: As requirements and priorities change frequently in Agile projects, testing needs to be flexible and easily adaptable to accommodate these changes.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Customer-centric: By involving testing throughout the development cycle, Agile testing ensures that the product meets customer expectations and delivers value.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Continuous improvement: Agile testing promotes continuous learning and improvement, enabling teams to identify and address defects and shortcomings promptly.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 1.25em; margin-left: 0;”>How is Agile Testing Done?</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Test-Driven Development (TDD): In TDD, tests are written before the code is developed. The tests initially fail since the code does not exist yet. Then, developers write the code to pass those tests, ensuring the functionality meets the requirements.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Continuous Integration (CI): Agile testing often relies on CI, where developers regularly integrate their code changes into a shared repository. Automated tests are executed automatically during this integration process to identify integration issues early on.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Test Automation: Automation is crucial in Agile testing to enable quick and repeated testing of features with minimal manual effort. Automated tests can include unit tests, integration tests, and acceptance tests.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Short Iterations: Agile projects work in short iterations or sprints, typically lasting two to four weeks. Each sprint delivers a potentially shippable product increment that has undergone testing.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Cross-functional Teams: Agile emphasizes collaboration among team members, including testers, developers, product owners, and other stakeholders. Testers are involved from the beginning and participate in all aspects of development.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Exploratory Testing: In Agile, testers actively explore the application to find defects and provide rapid feedback. Exploratory testing complements automated tests and helps uncover issues that might be challenging to detect through scripted testing alone.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Acceptance Criteria: Agile teams define clear and concise acceptance criteria for each user story. These criteria serve as the basis for testing and determining when a feature is “done.”</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>Retrospectives: After each sprint, the team holds a retrospective meeting to reflect on their processes, identify areas for improvement, and make necessary adjustments.</p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;”>By adopting Agile testing practices, development teams can deliver software with better quality, meet customer expectations more effectively, and respond quickly to changing requirements. The continuous feedback loop and collaboration fostered by Agile testing contribute to the overall success of the project.</p>
