Agile testing aims to eliminate the inefficient gap between development and testing

Firstly, it saves time; instead of testers waiting until a finished product is delivered to them then beginning their evaluation, they can test constantly. As well as reducing down time this lets them identify potential issues early and flag them up to the developers, who can fix them there and then before too much effort has been invested in the wrong direction.

With the development and testing staff working closely together the emphasis moves from completing each clearly defined stage of the process to doing whatever is required right now to advance the project
