Software Testing Strategy

Testing Strategies

– Test case selection: “we usually have a dedicated test case designer who’s job it is to make the decision”

• Two prevalent strategies: “New features first” or “Critical features first”. In most cases, if the customer had any influence on the project, this was the place where it affected in practice.

 – Explorative testing: “Yes we do it quite commonly, actually.”

• In many cases, the explorative testing was seen as one of the best ways to ensure product quality. “The dumb tests” to ensure that there are no obvious errors , For some reason, has a bad, or rather “unprofessional” reputation 

– Error analysis and classification: “There are many combinations, so we classify the error scenarios and secure the most critical ones”

• Error analysis and classification to focus resources. Both in development and in the upkeep. In general, a way to ensure realistic timetables and resource allocations, In most cases, error analysis results could affect the project process

The testing strategy is a operating plan to define the objectives, methods, and resources to achieve these project objectives efficiently within the policy-based framework.

How is the software testing strategy constructed?

 – How do the production method, applied standards, or outsourcing affect the testing strategy in the software process?

– How do the quality aspects affect the testing strategy and software process?

 – How do the software criticality and business-orientation affect the testing strategy?

 – Are there any additional major influences besides those already mentioned?

Within the objectives, methods, and resources, there are several attributes, which all affect the testing efficiency.These are the key attributes which helps to fix some strategy and planing for Software testing
