<ul style=”margin: 4px 0px; padding-inline-start: 36px; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: ‘Google Sans’, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif;” data-sourcepos=”5:1-5:92″>
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”5:1-5:92″>Early and frequent defect detection: By integrating testing throughout the development process, bugs are identified earlier and fixed before they become larger problems. This saves time and money and improves overall software quality.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”6:1-6:24″>Faster feedback loop: Continuous feedback from testing helps developers make informed decisions and deliver features that meet customer needs.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”7:1-7:96″>Improved collaboration: Agile testing encourages collaboration between testers, developers, and other stakeholders, leading to a more efficient and effective development process.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”8:1-8:100″>Increased agility: Agile testing allows teams to adapt to changing requirements and priorities quickly and efficiently.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”9:1-9:163″>Faster release cycles: By shortening the feedback loop, agile testing enables teams to release software more frequently and respond to market changes faster.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”10:1-11:0″>Higher-quality software: By continuously testing throughout the development process, agile teams can deliver higher-quality software that meets customer expectations.<h2 class=”” style=”margin: 4px 0px; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.5rem; font-family: ‘Google Sans’, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif; color: #1f1f1f;” data-sourcepos=”12:1-12:29″>How is Agile Testing Done?</h2>

Continuous testing: Testing is integrated throughout the development process, from code commit to deployment. This allows for early detection and resolution of issues.</p>
<p style=”margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: ‘Google Sans’, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif;” data-sourcepos=”18:1-18:87″>2. Automation: Automated testing tools are used to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency. This frees up testers to focus on exploratory and high-value testing activities.</p>

Prioritization: Test cases are prioritized based on risk and user impact. This ensures that the most critical areas are tested first.</p>

<p style=”margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: ‘Google Sans’, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif;” data-sourcepos=”26:1-26:46″>Here are some common agile testing techniques:</p><ul style=”margin: 4px 0px; padding-inline-start: 36px; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: ‘Google Sans’, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif;” data-sourcepos=”28:1-32:0″>
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”28:1-28:155″>Test-driven development (TDD): This practice involves writing tests before writing code. This ensures that the code meets the specified requirements.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”29:1-29:155″>Behavior-driven development (BDD): This practice involves using user stories and acceptance criteria to define the expected behavior of the software.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”30:1-30:144″>Exploratory testing: This type of testing is unstructured and allows testers to freely explore the software and discover potential issues.
<li style=”margin-bottom: 10px;” data-sourcepos=”31:1-32:0″>Scrum: This agile development framework incorporates testing into each sprint cycle.
