Test management eBook? That said, there are a variety of approaches to software testing, all of which are equally important in reaching a realistic conclusion to the pressing questions facing developers and testers: Does the application as a whole work? Do all features function as expected? Can the application withstand the demands of a heavy load? Are there security vulnerabilities that could put users at risk? Is the application reasonably easy to use, or will users find it a pain in the a$$?

Getting your test environments sorted is a critical task, however this is often much easier said than done. Environmental issues are often the single most time consuming (aka time wasting) aspect of a test phase in any organisation. Key to getting the environments set up is the “who”. Who owns the environments? Who can create them for me? Who can fix them for me? Get the “who” sorted out – preferably they will be an expert in the environment – and everything else might just fall into place a bit better. Now… if only I could take my own advice and implement all of these 10 top tips my own projects will run smoothly! As I mention a few times in this article, things are easier said than done…

Find your good enough threshold. Everyone wants perfect software, but budget constraints, business priorities, and resource capacity often make ‘perfect’ an impossible goal. But if perfection isn’t your goal, what is? Recognize that the goal of testing is to mitigate risk, not necessarily eliminate it. Your applications don’t need to be perfect — but they do need to support your business processes in time to leverage new opportunities without exposing companies to unnecessary or untenable risk. Therefore, your definition of quality may vary by application. As you initiate a project, get the right roles involved to ask the right questions: What constitutes perfect versus good enough versus unacceptable?

Isolation software testing recommendation of the day : We recommend that you choose a very, very small number of apps that are your source of truth – so everyone knows where to go to see what they and others need to do. For example we are using SpiraPlan as our sole source of truth of product development and testing tasks. We use: Tasks for development activities, Incidents for any bugs to be fixed, test Sets for any assigned tests to be run. With requirements and releases/sprints being used to roll-up the information to see what needs to be done across multiple tasks and test cases. We have a rule that anything that is in Google Chat or email is not by itself a task, to avoid confusion about priorities. If you want me to remember to do it after the next 5 minutes, don’t put it in Chat or Spira instant messenger. Chat is only for immediate questions/responses, not task assignment. For other, non-development teams, there should be an equivalent source of truth (CRM activities log for sales, KronoDesk support tickets for support, etc.) See even more details on https://cania-consulting.com/.
