Hey Yugal,
Ive worked as a QA on an agile project before and it can be difficult to automate as things change so rapidly. The key is to find the funtionality that is not changing so much. In the project i worked on the paypal transactions was perfect to automate...different data passing through the system each time but the same functionality was being touched. From what you've mentioned above, i wouldnt automate the viewing of property piece as this would be 'look and feel'...where im assuming objects are changes constantly (new buttons being added/changed, property images deleted / changed) , thus causing script maintenence for you. Its probably best practise to manually test this 'look and feel' functionality anyway. But definately try and automate the integration with paypal as i wouldnt think the developers would not be changes things rapidly here.
Hope this helps,
Brian
