Agile breaks large development projects into short phases called \u201csprints\u201d. After executing these sprints, developers adjust their software based on continuous feedback from their users and repeat their sprints in a continuous cycle. Unlike traditional development models, agile emphasizes fast, flexible adaptability. Applications are tested as code is being written, enabling early bug detection, and fast adjustments, with the result of a faster and higher quality software release. To meet the demands of this methodology, Agile teams are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.testwheel.com\/automation-testing\/qa-software-testing\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.testwheel.com\/automation-testing\/qa-software-testing\/\">adapting test automation.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agile_Testing_and_Automation_Adaption\"><\/span>Agile Testing and Automation Adaption<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give an example of how Agile works in a testing environment, let\u2019s imagine a team building a customer portal on a website. After launching their new portal, developers would receive feedback from their users and almost instantaneously adjust their previous sprint in their development cycle to correct the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the demands for this kind of speed and flexibility, automated testing becomes essential, especially for regression testing, where developers need to ensure that new code changes haven\u2019t broken existing functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation enhances Agile Testing by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Empowering developers to build new features with more confidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing the cost, time, and resources spent on iterative manual testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing human error.
