             abstract = "Context: Software testing activities are considered as knowledge 
                         intensive and therefore Knowledge Management (K M) principles and 
                         techniques can be applied to efficiently manage the knowledge 
                         generated. In agile development, agile testing practices can 
                         benefit the companies in terms of K M, specially in the knowledge 
                         sharing. However, there is still little empirical knowledge about 
                         the state of practice as well as contemporary problems with 
                         respect to agile testing and K M . Objective: This study aims to 
                         understand how knowledge is shared in Brazilian companies that 
                         incorporated agile methodology. Method: In order to create an 
                         empirical basis on the aspects of agile testing and K M . a survey 
                         was conducted w i t h professionals working with agile tests. The 
                         survey received 150 replies. Results: The results with more 
                         highlight are: Knowledge is, in fact, shared into the team 
                         (89.3%), informal communication is most used (52%), tools are used 
                         to share knowledge, the future decisions are based on past 
                         problems (88%) and the success stories are stored by team (70.9%). 
                         Conclusion: Knowledge is recognized as extremely important in any 
                         area. Its extraction and publication are of fundamental 
                         importance, as can be proven in this research. Agile practices 
                         support companies to make use of KM principles.",
