Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of agile software development processes and techniques. The first part of the chapter covers the major agile project management techniques with a focus on project planning. Iteration planning and interaction design approaches are given special focus. The second part of the chapter covers agile quality assurance with a focus on test-driven development and the state space of testing. Current problems in agile testing, including measuring test quality and testing applications with large state spaces, are discussed.
