Agile testing does not emphasize rigidly defined testing procedures, but rather focuses on testing iteratively against newly developed code until quality is achieved from an end customer's perspective.
The Word Agile means "Moving Quickly" and this explains the whole concept of Agile Testing.
Testers have to adapt to rapid deployment cycles and changes in testing patterns.
Agile testing involves testing from the customer perspective as early as possible, testing early and often as code becomes available and stable enough from module/unit level testing.
Testers are no longer a form of Quality Police. Testing moves the project forward leading to new strategy called Test Driven Development. Testers provide information, feedback and suggestions rather than being last phase of defense.
Testing is no more a phase; it integrates closely with Development. Continuous testing is the only way to ensure continuous progress.
Manual testing, particularly manual exploratory testing, is still important.
Agile teams typically find that the fast feedback afforded by automated regression is a key to detecting problems quickly, thus reducing risk and rework.
