So, let us choose a method for analyzing quality risks as the foundation for modifications. Here are a few ideas on how to get started. Investigate the necessary quality risks categories, paying attention to details. Start by studying the categories that are appropriate for your system. Useful ideas about technical […] Read More
Test procedure specification. This document describes the sequence of steps taken to perform a certain test. Summary test run report. This document summarizes the types of tests and their results. It also contains the results of testing of the corresponding software products. Test procedure specification is issued as a part […] Read More
Work breakdown structure methods. If the software product is large enough and complex, in all likelihood, estimation of costs for the development and testing of this product will require a great deal of time and effort. It is also very likely that in this situation the organization will have to […] Read More
The list of activities can be called as the WBS list (Work Breakdown Structure – hierarchical decomposition of work to be done by members of the testing team). Work breakdown is often less formal than the list of typical tasks; on the other hand, it can look like a hierarchal […] Read More
The sequence of steps that should be taken when performing tests is given below. This procedure, which is a type of the Wideband Delphi Estimation Process, should take place in the early stages of the planning process. This will ensure that you have enough time to perform each action. Preparation. […] Read More
When defects are introduced in the product requirements, they spread in the wave-like manner over the entire development. You will have to dedicate enough resources, effort and time to eliminate the consequences of such a defect distribution can be eliminated only. Experts argue that if the cost of detecting and […] Read More
To be able to avoid computer locking during test run, it is extremely important for software developers to correct software errors as quickly as possible at the dynamic testing stage. As a rule, locking effects during testing execution are caused by logical errors that prevent the test data from being […] Read More
Since software development management can be a very challenging task, therefore it has become a common practice in software industry to apply the collection of lessons learned and the most effective methods, put into a checklist form. Checklists serve as a convenient reminder of the operations that must be performed […] Read More
An inspection coordinator, in other words, test leader, selects four or five testers, one of whom is appointed as a chairman of the test commission. The coordinator also decides the time and place of the inspections. He prepares four or five documentation packages for the testing team, including copies of […] Read More
After a test strategy has been defined, you can go to the next level of detail in planning the testing activity: the definition of a test system. The concept of a test system refers not only to hardware needed for the testing, but also to test architecture and test configurations. […] Read More
The purpose of defining test criteria is to establish a set of rules at the customer’s site that govern the flow of testing. It is very important to determine the test criteria before testing itself begins. After you have begun to implement the test plan, it is too late to […] Read More
Since it is absolutely impossible to test everything, the importance of determining what to test is beyond doubt. If you run excessive number of tests, namely, if test coverage is redundant, then the debugging of a software product will take a considerable time, which will threaten the deadline of a […] Read More
The requirements definition document includes a general description that specifies competitive advantages of the project under development and its functionality. It briefly outlines the main properties of the product and indicates what qualifications a user should have to work with it. At the same time, the document does not contain […] Read More
Software project life cycle begins at the moment when the customer takes decision to replace the existing system or desires to acquire a completely new system. The customer can be any department of your company, a separate company or agency that enters into employment contract with you. A customer can […] Read More
It is impossible to build a rigorous software development model represented as a phased progression of activities – sequential execution and completion of processes – this is what the Waterfall model assumes. Spiral model in particular is an evolutionary process which much better reflects the iterative nature of software development. […] Read More
After selecting a testing strategy, defining a test system and estimating labor costs, it is possible to begin drawing up a test plan. The test plan is a document or some set of documents representing the result of performing certain types of planning activities. This document is not a once […] Read More
