The document discusses test management. It covers organizing testers and testing, estimating and planning the test effort, test progress monitoring and reporting, configuration management, risk management, and incident management. It also discusses independent and integrated testing, working as a test leader and tester, and defining the necessary skills for test staff.

- 2. TEST MANAGEMENT ? • In this chapter, we cover essential topics for test management in six sections. The first relates to how to organize the testers and the testing. The second concerns the estimation, planning and strategizing of the test effort. The third addresses test progress monitoring, test reporting and test control. The fourth explains configuration management and its relationship to testing. The fifth covers the central topic of risk and how testing affects and is affected by product and project risks. The sixth and final section discusses the management of incidents, both product defects and other events that require further investigation.
- 3. TEST ORGANIZATION ? Independent and Integrated Testing Working As a Test Leader Working As a Tester Defining The Skills Test Staff Need
- 4. • In Chapter 1 we talked about independent testing from the perspective of indi-vidual tester psychology. In this chapter, we'll look at the organizational and managerial implications of independence. • The approaches to organizing a test team vary, as do the places in the organ-ization structure where the test team fits. Since testing is an assessment of quality, and since that assessment is not always positive, many organizations strive to create an organizational climate where testers can deliver an inde-pendent, objective assessment of quality. • When thinking about how independent the test team is, recognize that inde-pendence is not an either/or condition, but a continuum. At one end of the continuum lies the absence of independence, where the programmer performs testing within the programming team. Independent and Integrated Testing
- 5. • Test leaders tend to be involved in the planning, monitoring, and control of the testing activities and tasks discussed in Section 1.5 on the fundamental test process. At the outset of the project, test leaders, in collaboration with the other stakeholders, devise the test objectives, organizational test policies (if not already in place), test strategies and test plans. They estimate the testing to be done and negotiate with management to acquire the necessary resources. Working As a Test Leader

- 7. • As with test leaders, projects should include testers at the outset, though it is often the case that project doesn't need a full complement of testers until the test execution period. In the planning and preparation phases of the testing, testers should review and contribute to test plans, as well as analyzing, review-ing and assessing requirements and design specifications. They may be involved in or even be the primary people identifying test conditions and cre-ating test designs, test cases, test procedure specifications and test data, and may automate or help to automate the tests. They often set up the test envi-ronments or assist system administration and network management staff in doing so. Working As a Tester
- 8. • As test execution begins, the number of testers often increases, starting with the work required to implement tests in the test environment. (They may play such a role on all test levels, even those not under the direct control of the test group; e.g., they might implement unit tests which were designed by program-mers.) Testers execute and log the tests, evaluate the results and document problems found. They monitor the testing and the test environment, often using tools for this task, and often gather performance metrics. Throughout the testing life cycle, they review each other's work, including test specifica-tions, defect reports and test results. Working As a Tester
- 9. • Doing testing properly requires more than defining the right positions and number of people for those positions. Good test teams have the right mix of skills based on the tasks and activities they need to carry out, and people outside the test team who are in charge of test tasks need the right skills, too. People involved in testing need basic professional and social qualifications such as literacy, the ability to prepare and deliver written and verbal reports, the ability to communicate effectively, and so on. Going beyond that, when we think of the skills that testers need, three main areas come to mind: Defining The Skills Test Staff Need
- 10. • Application or business domain: A tester must understand the intended behavior, the problem the system will solve, the process it will automate and so forth, in order to spot improper behavior while testing and recognize the 'must work' functions and features. • Technology: A tester must be aware of issues, limitations and capabilities of the chosen implementation technology, in order to effectively and effi ciently locate problems and recognize the 'likely to fail' functions and features. • Testing: A tester must know the testing topics discussed in this book - and often more advanced testing topics - in order to effectively and efficiently carry out the test tasks assigned.
