In contrast to other development methodologies, where testing is always done at the very end, Agile approaches always have testing start almost simultaneously with the writing of the first piece of code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI-driven testing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tools like CoTester, Mabl, and AccelQ are designed to help combat all the challenges that traditional tools face.
