Leaders are faced with balancing the demands for quality software delivery and end-user satisfaction with cost control and resource limitations.
When faced with delivering software projects with limited testing resources or skills, there are 4 key steps you can take to continue delivering high-quality, tested software.
Testing helps reduce the risk of software defects, poor software performance, and a sub-par customer experience. Click To TweetStep 1 – Start with a Software Test Strategy
Testing helps reduce the risk of software defects, poor software performance, and a sub-par customer experience. Whether the Software Test Strategy is a formal document or a discussion with documented notes, it should cover:
- Testing Scope
- Test Cycles Definition
- Testing Approach
- Testing Resources
If you are starting a new software development project, plan now for a Software Test Strategy. The project team should agree to the strategy before Sprint 1 even begins. However, if you’re already underway it’s not too late. Developing a Software Test Strategy will save you time and cost in the long run as you quickly identify gaps in your current testing process that can be improved for the next sprint.
