UK Government’s Neil Fletcher proposes a “GDS Agile Testing Manifesto”:
Agile Testing Manifesto
In our efforts to build software of good and appropriate quality, we have come to value:
Collaborative ownership over detached objectivity
Defect prevention over defect reporting
Targeted automation testing over widespread anti-regression testing
Exploratory testing over predetermined scriptingThat is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

I like it.
But it needs to say something about failure mode testing. The Agile community needs to focus more on that – if you want reliable systems. And reliability (and security) is perhaps the largest crisis in IT today.
