Abstract
:
In
recent years, a significant mind shift has taken place in
the IT industry recognizing the strategic need for robust
and mature software Quality Assurance and Testing function.
Improved software quality, better customer confidence and
reduction of costs throughout the lifecycle are obvious benefits
looked by the clients. Today, approximately 40% of project
budgets are allocated to QA and testing.
While
the benefits of QA and testing are well understood, clients
still face challenges in achieving maximum value for their
end to end testing solutions for large enterprise applications
that is composed of a variety of complex subsystems.
There
are situations where large and complex live customer care
web portal with thousands of websites and millions of user
records has to be re-platformed into a new environment and
architecture. It is possible that various modules \ components
\ subsystems are developed and tested by different vendors
in different environments from various different locations.
In
addition to testing the functionality of individuals modules
\ components and ensuring the components functionalities work
as designed, the system has to be tested in an integrated
environment with all the sub systems in place and ensure the
end to end functional flow of the application is intact after
the re-platforming and migration. Additionally there are various
other testing activities that need to be carried out, such
as Performance Testing, Security and Penetration Testing,
Customer Acceptance Testing, etc., before the application
can go live.
In
a complex situation such as this, it is necessary to have
a very good test management process in place to ensure that
testing of each of these test cycles, by different vendors,
in different environments is managed effectively. It is also
very important to have clear exit and entry criteria defined
for each stage of testing.
This presentation will provide information on
1. What is End to End Testing and Test Management
