Scenario |
Solution |
Benefit |
Project timelines need to be shrunk for release |
Risk Based Testing |
Balance user priorities and deliverables in the short span of time available |
Test engineers are uncovering fewer defects |
Bug Bounties |
Provide incentives to test engineers to increase motivation levels |
Current testing is primarily manual |
Phase in test
automation |
Gradually decrease quantum of manual testing and speed up turnaround time |
Test automation has been implemented but
is not yielding desired results |
White box
techniques |
Evaluate current test approach as well as code
modularization |
Need to assess if current test tools are adequate to adopt a new technology |
Proof of Concept |
Utilize the Proof of Concept model, identify limitations of existing tools, and consider adopting alternate tools |
Measuring current test efficiency |
Metrics based
measurement system |
Measure test efficiency via metrics such as Defect Find Efficiency and Defect Find Cost |
Monitoring alignment between the test team engagement and business objectives |
Governance model |
Utilize the governance model to monitor the
engagement at senior levels |
