Managing COTS Test Efforts, In Three Parts

(Special STPCon Fall 2011 Offer Inside) - It’s Like Conducting an Orchestra! Imagine this:   You are a testing professional newly hired by a mid-to-large size company. Any industry. You are responsible for the testing of all of the company’s internal corporate systems---HRIS, Finance, ERP, CRM, CLM, Sales Management, and Knowledge Management to name a few. You have just been tasked with providing the testing strategy and test management for a large-scale commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) implementation. At first you think, “Hmm. A COTS vendor application that has already been developed, tested, boxed up, and released?!? This job is going to be a piece of cake!”

Comment on Article: The Value of an Action

5 hours ago
Quite an interesting thought. I think Value based action prioritization would be analogous to Risk based prioritization from a test coverage perspective, in the given context. One of the key challenges is the perception of "Value", which maybe different across different groups (Developers/Testers/End Users...) within the team. There would hence be a pressing need to brainstorm, understand and socialize this aspect carefully across the Project team for maximizing efficiency and quality at the same time.
