The advent of agile methodologies and test-drivendevelopment has brought software testing to the forefront ofapplication development. Yet in today’s harried rush-to-marketdevelopment environment, organizations must find a delicate balancebetween product release and product quality.
In Critical Testing Processes,the author distills knowledge gained from 20 years of testingexperience into twelve critical processes. These include highly visibleprocesses by which peers and management judge competence, andmission-critical processes in which performance affects the company’sprofits and reputation.
After each process is introduced, the authordemonstrates its use through an engaging case study. Instead ofcumbersome regulations, this book provides checklists—lightweight,flexible tools for implementing process-oriented testing, gatheringmetrics, and making incremental process changes. By demonstratingcritical processes in various organizational, operational, andtechnological contexts, this book shows readers how to:
Handle recurrent tests efficiently and consistently
Develop a cohesive, cooperative team that sidesteps redundancies
Build a reputation for reliability through the effective communication of test results
Define the focus of tests for maximum customer satisfaction and organizational success

Because testing is a collaborative process with theparticipation of staff throughout the organization, the authordiscusses interpersonal and cultural issues in depth. This book alsodevotes ample coverage to the often-overlooked areas of planning andperfecting tests. Whatever your role in testing—from test engineeringto managing hundreds of test engineers—Critical Testing Processes will offer valuable insights into what you do, why it’s important, and how you can perform better.
