If a bug is non-reproducible always (for example, it occurs only after 3 failed attempts), you should include information on this inconsistency in your bug report. In order not to create invalid bugs, you should look for such bugs in the issue tracking system (maybe someone already encountered it […] Read More
Testing inevitably requires considerable resources. The efficient use of these resources requires careful scheduling and effective management. We will focus on the technical aspects of planning and scheduling of various test activities. We’ll set about determining what needs to be done at the technical level, who can do it […] Read More
It is better to present this information visually. Use colorful indicators, diagrams and highlighted tables. There is an example test report for test cases: Test report must contain the following information: Defects This section should include: overall number of defects reported during the testing; defect statuses […] Read More
