Hi,
Yes I have the experience. Typically in the Agile development the test case documentation etc is minimum. The main goal is to work with the development team very closely and do the testing as and when some part of the development is done. Then send it to the client for review or UAT. This cycle will go until the whole product is ready. So in a typical Agile testing project you will have multiple smaller releases. In every day scrum call all the representatives from test, dev and client will be present. There from testing team you need to say what was the goal to achiev for that day, what you have achived and what is the plan for next day.
So in short minimum documentation and maximum productivity.
Hope this will help.
Thanks
Manas

Hi dude,
Agile model is the customer prospective model, which can easily intake customer requirements at the later phases of development model.
In Agile model whole work package is divided into chunks and these chunks can be grouped under iterations commonly 2-3 weeks. Every day scrum meeting is performed within the whole group with a view to know the status of ongoing iterations and measure it pitfalls.
One of the best thing in agile is that every task is easily manageable and there is clear view of the task for respective resources.
Take care dude every thing you do is like a mirror, so axe would be lying if you don't perform well !
At the end of each iteration iteration is planned comprising of the priority task that needs to be performed.
All the Regression task that you need to perform would be defined and grouped under the User Stories.
All the Actual effort timings would be put by you in consultation with your leads.
In ideal situation actal should not exceed estmated effort.
So efforts should be added considering your previous experiences in the task.
Suffice time should estimated along with buffer time, so that actual does not exceed, especially while defining the user story for the 1st regression cycle, accordingly plan for 2,3.... and so on.
If any probs further could mail me back at alindcool@gmail.com, with relevant questionaries.
