Test Management for COTS Implementations

What's in a Name?

Thursday March 22nd 10am 2 2 Comments Test and QA Quality Assurance
In the software testing world and in the quality assurance industry, this is a sticky point. It irks us that these terms are oft used interchangeably. How many times do you hear someone say, "Has that gone through QA yet?" when the person is talking about testing? It's actually an incorrect statement. Personally, I have worked at numerous Fortune 100 companies where my title included "Quality Assurance" or "QA" when my role had absolutely nothing to do with QA. At all.

Managing COTS Test Efforts, In Three Parts

Thursday September 8th 2011 5pm 4 1 Comment Test and QA Strategy Management Software Test Professionals Conference
(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!”
