Analyzing Requirements

In this article, I have attempted to bring together ideas on inspecting and analyzing requirements based on reading techniques as procedural approaches encompassing common checklist methods to achieve better defect detection rates as early as possible in the development lifecycle.

Considering Test Estimation and Negotiation

Test estimation is a forecast of the projected cost and duration of testing which is agreed upon between the testers and enterprise which requires testing. It is a means for discerning information which will need to be fed back in to the business.

Extending the Test Basis – Let’s look at the users

When we discuss test analysis, we do so in reference to the test basis that collection of documents, standards, and attitudes that we use to guide our testing.

Requirements vs. Design

Some people say that requirements are about what you build, and design is about how you build it. This simplistic statement may sound right, but there are two potential problems with condensing the matter in this way.

Requirements: Into the Mind of the Author

It seems well-accepted that it is cheaper to find defects earlier in the software development lifecycle than during dynamic testing or in live operation.

Results Based Testing

Results Based Testing (RBT) is a new software testing pricing model that sets forth the expected value to be delivered by the Testing Teams.

Software Recovery Test Overview

To test a system's capability to handle faults, recovery testing is performed. This testing approach forces the software to fail and verifies that recovery is properly performed.

System Breakdown

Because of the intensive nature of the system map they provide, performing a system breakdown leads to a deeper understanding of the system in production, making both development and testing easier on everyone involved.

Test Estimation Best Practices

Even many experienced professionals can have trouble determining exactly how long the testing process is going to take from end to end. The estimation process is a complex one which contributes to the length, cost, and quality of a finished project – so how is it determined?

The Defect Management Process

That is why it is so important to have a defect management process in place: that way, when defects are inevitably detected, the testers know exactly how to identify and manage them, streamlining the testing process and increasing its efficiency.

10 Most Popular Misconceptions about Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing is simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution. This definition of exploratory testing was the prevailing definition for many years.

Audit Testing: A Consideration of Utility and Meaning

Audit testing is one of the methods the testing discipline can use to examine a testing process and produce usable feedback with less resource expenditure than a more exhaustive testing effort may require.
