The agile testing process is a continuous process rather than sequential. The testing begins at the start of the project and there is ongoing integration between testing and development. The common objective of agile development and testing is to achieve high product quality.

Agile testing provides feedback on an ongoing basis and this is how your product meets the business needs.
In a traditional software development life cycle, only the test team is responsible for testing but in agile testing, the developers and the business analysts also test the application.
