Abstract: Abstract The article provides a literature review on agile testing, which encompasses the most important factors in conducting software testing in all aspects of its practice. This is a growing area of academic research due to the increasing role of conducting professional software testing in very short amounts of time. This article maps the main strands of research on agile software testing by showing the different types of models developed and the key takeaways for further research using five articles derived from western literature. The review indicates that much of the literature is framed in terms of comparing the existing agile models or comparing the agile model to other older software development models used such as the waterfall model. Researchers investigating agile testing draw predominantly on multivariate analysis using surveys, questionnaires, documentary analysis and interviews. The theme has gained more and more importance through the last years as more and more companies are adopting the agile software development and testing methodology. A stronger focus is needed in developing a professional testing concept and in determining the key dimension on which the productivity of such approaches is based on.
