Agile isn’t about delivering software faster; it’s about delivering quality working software faster.
The product owner shouldn’t accept completed work until it has been tested and meets the team’s definition of done along with the acceptance criteria. One way to combat poor testing habits is to place an emphasis on developing automatic testing. Test every single build until it passes. You may believe testing is done last, after developers complete coding. That is not so! With testers sitting on the cross-functional team, testing should be done simultaneously. After iteration planning, the requirements of the user story are known.
Start building tests against the value the stories provide so that they may be verified as soon as the code is ready. This removes a potential bottleneck.
