“Agile Testing” is an excellent and must-needed book related to testing in agile product development. Much has been written about test-driven development on unit level, however, little has been written on higher level testing and the role of testers and test departments in Agile development.

One of the key messages in this book is “the whole team approach”, meaning that testing should be within the team and should not just be “the testers job”. Anyone in the team can test, however, teams will probably still benefit from having a test specialist of a test expert. This mindset is one of the key thoughts the book repeats over and over again.

I’d recommend it to anyone interested in agile development and especially testers who have a hard time finding their new roles.
