In checking back through some presentations we have given over the years… I found a slide pack given by our CEO at the Sydney Australia Testing Tools Fair many moons ago.
I have copied the headline items below as I still believe they stand the test of time, even to this day!
1) Not agreeing the Testing Stages
Need a “Strategy”
2) Not identifying resource requirements
Need a “Plan”
3) Not clearly defining the scope
Need “Exit Criteria”
4) Not establishing the purpose of each script
Need “Minimum Effort”
5) Not establishing suitable automation
Need “Maximum Efficiency”
6) Not knowing where you are
Need “Control”
7) Not identifying problem areas
Need “Incident Management”
Implementation of successful testing processes must include:
- A strategy and detailed Plan
- Establishing ‘What’ and ‘How’ to achieve the testing
- Optimisation using appropriate testing tools
- Management and Control of the Testing Process
- Management and control of the Incidents
