Think about the importance of building a test strategy. What do you first think about? Testing is one of the processes that support quality assurance and quality control of software systems. A good test process reduces the risk of delivering a product that does not meet any stated requirements and expectations; it also provides valuable information for the purpose of decision making.
To ensure that the testing process achieves the stated goals and meets the stakeholders’ expectations, it should be properly planned. There are a number of conditions that are related to (1) the product under test, (2) the overall project, and (3) organisation that need to be considered. All these conditions should be identified, analysed and taken into account when establishing a right approach to testing. The outcome of this analysis is documented in a form of test strategy.
This eBook explores the purpose and elements of building a test strategy as well as what is the role of a test strategy and how it can ensure product quality.
