In an Agile team, the testing organization is not the only group focused on quality.  Developers must also work to build defect free code by applying practices like test driven development and pair programming.

Also, we should not have to go through a regression or dedicated testing phase prior to release.  The quality must be verified during each sprint.

Most teams that have advanced agile testing practices use some for of automated tests - usually automated acceptance tests - coupled with exploratory testing.  The automation is written slightly before (or at the same time as) development and the exploratory testing takes place as small increments of software are completed.

This usually means that it is not possible to accomplish our goals over a long time using manual testing.  If we do manual testing then we quickly are put in a position of making decisions of what will go untested as it becomes harder and harder to test everything.

For a tester, Agile means that we no longer have a "testing" phase in our workflow.  Instead, we need to work closely with developers to test the software while it is being developed (instead of after) with a focus on preventing defects (instead of finding them).

Sanjay, my concern is that I do now want people to have the impression that Agile is somehow related to certifications or that one should go get some certification in order to land an Agile job.  Agile is not about a certification or any class.  It is about people working closely together to deliver value quickly to customers.

Cheezy-Yes, it is true that I offered people to help understand about Agile and certification. I am not here to debate who knows how much about agile. I will answer anyone who want to know more about agile in real world scenarios rather refering books, that you will get millions of stuff on net.

Sanjay, I just found it interesting that when you offered to help people understand the concepts of Agile (which I am a huge fan of) that you also offered to help people understand the concepts of "agile and certifications".  Certifications have nothing to do with Agile - right!

Cheezy-Thanks for adding more information to my comment, Appreciated. To be precise attending 2 days course is mandatory for CSM. And I have not only attended 2 days training but working on it for past 6 years.
