The Future of Testing: Testsourcing

Monday, September 6th, 2010

In the beginning, very little testing was outsourced. Testing was performed by insourcers, people employed within the same organization that wrote the software.

The Future of Testing: Testsourcing

Controlling the Test Progress

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

One of the most important parts of testing management is controlling the test progress. The purpose of test progress monitoring is to provide feedback and visibility of the progress of test activities. The test metrics are used to track progress towards the completion of testing, which is determined by the exit criteria. Test metrics include:

  • Percentage of test cases prepared
  • Environment readiness
  • Test case execution
  • Defect information (density, amount of fixed/not fixed, failure rate, retest results)
  • Test coverage of requirements
  • Subjective confidence of testers in the product
  • Dates of test milestones
  • Testing costs
