Concurrent testing is the concept that as software is being developed, it is also being tested. Concurrent testing can be done in several ways; one of the most common is to perform testing at the system level. As a development team completes coding requirements for an application or system, this required code becomes testable, while other team members can execute test cases against the completed code.
Personal experience within Agile testing using SCRUM, XP, Crystal, and other processes has revealed that concurrent testing can be incorporated to shorten the feedback loop to the Agile team. This helps solve issues within the Cost of Failure concept. Cost of Failure is defined as the concept that the longer you wait to get something fixed, the higher the price/cost to fix it. As the feedback loop is shortened, the cost of the defect/bug is reduced.
