Since all are turning to agile, definitely software tester have to equate their traditional methods into agile.
In non-agile there are some metrics used in testing
For e.g.,
To find the efficiency of test cases, we can say
[No.of.test cases those can be mapped into defects] / [Total no.of test cases]
is one of the ratios used in traditional software testing.
How to do this in agile process, where test case itself is not important (at least , test case documentation)
Likewise, there are many ratios/metrics which were non-agile period may not be directly applicable in agile era.. looking for the conversion or in simple terms,
"What are the ratios and metrics those can be useful in agile testing?"

BlackBox Vs Agile
For quite sometime, I am hearing lot of things about Agile development, and in turn agile testing. Lot and lot of things about testing frameworks, unit testing, early testing etc.
All these methods are trying to kill Blackbox testing and the role of black box tester. None of these methodologies, emphasize about the role of Blackbox tester. All these are telling about early testing, extensive unit testing, automating unit testing etc.
But is this true? Will these testings w/o blackbox testing achive result? I do not think so, the primary reasons being, that many 'ities' are missing the above said agile methodologies,
-Usability
-Portability
-Compatibility
etc.
are the 'ities' those are taken care by Blackbox tester which the automated unit testing cannot achieve.
But the agile development and so called agile testing is blown out of it 'deserved' proportion and it tries to occupy the land of Black box testing, which should be defeated by blackbox testers. But alas, I couldnt find proper propoganda of blackbox testers against this agile wave.
