Software underpins nearly every business process. Therefore it’s essential to lower the cost of testing and improve the quality of your software. These four pointers will help you improve software quality and improve testing efficiency. [Read more…]
As a TMMi Lead Assessor I often find myself in a fact-finding interview sitting across the table from a tester or test manager with a puzzled look on their face. The cause of their consternation is usually because I have asked them to explain how they deal with product risk and, perhaps strangely, they don’t feel they understand precisely what product risk is. Why is it that product risk is a difficult concept for many individuals involved in testing? I hope this blog will shed a little light on what product risk actually is and how it is dealt with in a testing project.
Risk comes in many guises. When managing a project involving any element of testing there are at least three main types of risk that need to be taken into consideration:
Testing in the mobile world is really no different from testing on any other application or platform and all the usual types of testing need to be performed. However the mobile world does offer some additional challenges that you must consider when defining your mobile testing strategy and the testing that needs to be performed.
There have been a number of questions raised in the UK and abroad about the relationship between TMMi and the new ISO 29119 standard.
To clarify the situation, the TMMi Foundation has been very active in addressing the questions by pulling together a group of 25 volunteers who conducted an in-depth review of the differences and areas of overlap.
This has resulted in an excellent paper being written and published by Erik van Veenendaal. The paper highlights and describes the main conclusions and some findings from the study.
Software testing is the backbone of your software development process. Without a good testing process, you put the quality, reliability and – ultimately – the reputation of both your software and your organisation at risk. [Read more…]
