Once the methodology is finalised and understood, the next hurdle is to approach automation in a phased manner to implement our automation methodology. Here comes - Tasks and Phases for Test Automation from Test Planning to Maintenance of Test Suite. ROI and effort estimation have not been explained in detail.

I did not have much experience with data migration apart from having some theoretical knowledge of what one should consider for testing such a project scope.Thu, 16 Jun 2011 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5073/Ditch-the-Requirements---Focus-on-the-Customer-Instead/Best-Practices-End-to-End-Development-Project-Management-Quality-Assurance-Requirements-Agile-Software-Testing-Software-Test-Professionals-Conferencehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5073/Ditch-the-Requirements---Focus-on-the-Customer-Instead/Best-Practices-End-to-End-Development-Project-Management-Quality-Assurance-Requirements-Agile-Software-Testing-Software-Test-Professionals-Conferenceseth_stp@setheliot.comBest PracticesEnd to EndDevelopmentProject ManagementQuality AssuranceRequirementsAgileSoftwareTestingSoftware Test Professionals ConferenceQuality can be defined as meeting the customers' needs. Juran posted this definition in 1988, defining quality as "fitness for use". Testers like this definition as it gives them a "north star" to guide their actions and it reinforces a role that most testers relish, that of customer advocate. However Crosby's older definition of quality as "conformance to requirements" still holds strong sway, and many test processes are guided by test cases correlated directly to requirements.

TestNG is perfect for that task, because unlike other testing frameworks, it’s very flexible and easy to use, and still very powerful.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 09:17:00 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4771/The-Automated-Testing-Handbook---Download/Automation-Acceptance-Error-Handling-Future-Test-Performance-Test-and-QA-Quality-Assurance-Testing-End-to-End-Membership-Crews-Webhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4771/The-Automated-Testing-Handbook---Download/Automation-Acceptance-Error-Handling-Future-Test-Performance-Test-and-QA-Quality-Assurance-Testing-End-to-End-Membership-Crews-WebAutomationAcceptanceError HandlingFuture TestPerformanceTest and QAQuality AssuranceTestingEnd to EndMembershipCrewsWebThe risk of software failure has never been greater. The estimated annual economic impact ranges from $60 billion for poor testing to $100 billion in lost revenues and increased costs. Unfortunately, market pressure for the delivery of new functionality and applications has also never been stronger. This combination creates increasing pressure on software test organizations to improve test coverage while meeting ever-shorter deadlines with static or even declining resources. The only practical means to achieving quality goals within the constraints of schedules and budgets is to automate. This premium resource is available for a limited time to "Basic Members".Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:06:00 -0600
