Modern Approach: Agile

Learn about the agile approach to creating software.

Why build software with agile?

Agility is vital in the software world. To keep up with the competition and constantly changing demands of customers, businesses need to be able to adapt quickly. This need to have agility is where agile software development comes in. The agile approach allows for rapid changes and iterations during the software development process, which helps teams respond more quickly to customer feedback and market changes. But how can team members ensure their team is as agile as possible? One way is to focus on testing early and often.

What is agile testing?

In an agile software development project, testing is not a phase that happens at the end. Instead, testing is an activity integrated into every stage of the process. For example, when the team discusses ideas for features with a customer, the team can test those ideas. When the team creates designs for a feature, the team should test those designs. When the team builds the feature with code, the team should test the code.
