Thread: Agile testing

What is the exact difference between Agile Testing and Rapid software testing?

AGILE TESTING:
Agile software development is used in the case where the software is developed by following the SDLC which involves Iterative method. In this method the Software is developed in a iterative way where the changes are done to the software in each and every cycle. For this Agile testing is used. In Agile testing the software is released for testing in the first iteration where the skeleton of the software is developed and then the software is released in each and every version where the changes were done to the application. All the changes that are to be done were forecasted and scheduled and then tested in a phase. Each and every iterative cycle itself is a mini software and released for testing in a build wise manner..

RAPID SOFTWARE TESTING
Rapid software testing is somewhat similar to smoke test or sanity test but here not only the major functionalities are tested but the entire application is tested quickly. Rapid testing is a mind-set and a skill-set of testing focused on how to do testing more quickly, less expensively, with excellent results. It adapts to any kind of project or product. Rapid testing is a way to scale thorough testing methods to fits the compressed schedule. Rapid testing doesn't mean "not thorough", it means "as thorough as is reasonable and required, given the constraints on your time.
