What is Agile Testing ?

[Mr. Anand]

"Agile Development" that comes to the fore is simply:
"Reduce the gap in time between doing
some activity and gaining feedback."
Though typically couched in terms of discovering errors sooner, there
is a positive side to this concept. You also want to discover you are
finished (with a feature) as soon as possible! One of the big parts of
being in an agile state of mind is trying to always do the best you
can with the time and resources you have. Not discovering a bug until
late in the development cycle is obviously expensive. However, going
overboard on building code to meet more than the feature demands is
potentially no less wasteful. After all, if you add "polish" and
"gleam" above and beyond what was needed, you have added more cost to
development. In short, you wasted time and money - neither of which
can be recovered - and you added more cost to downstream maintenance.
