The test process is not a separate process that can be outsourced or left alone, it is merged with the development processes. The true benefits of Agile testing are revealed when it is used as part of Agile development and accorded an equal importance. The sooner testing team and testers get involved, better it is for the project. Ideally, testers should be part of the overall scheme of things from day one, simply because giving testers a seat at the table from the start provides a higher level of insight into requirements and goals, encourages collaboration and helps hammer home the need to conduct frequent, continuous testing.
