The Agile testing environment creates strength in numbers. It aligns the talents and vision of your entire team to ensure the promise of your product becomes a market reality.

You can maintain an end-user focus through the development and analysis of daily builds using a cyclical, continuous integration model. The core of the Agile environment is the relationship between developers and testers. Each plays a vital role in what has traditionally been the other's exclusive domain.
