"how to put quality in a product&...@Anonymous<br /><br />"how to put quality in a product" - Ask your manger what is his/her definition of quality.<br /><br />If testing is about evaluating a product - you cannot add features into product by testing.<br /><br />Standard phrase - "add quality into the product" - usually means team up with everyone in the team and help the team to build better product.<br /><br />This is management or marketing jargon - not an engineering term applied to software<br /><br />ShriniShrini Kulkarnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10782753752478547381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722108.post-19743356932797968672012-11-06T15:23:36.074+05:302012-11-06T15:23:36.074+05:30Hi Shrini,

What you have written is matching closely regarding the Test Team's responsibility. <br />In the product company where i worked, Automation Testing(Checking) is hyped up(70% of scripted test cases to be automated irrespective of version as goals), how ever Black box testing focus was never reduced. <br /><br />Lots of brainstorming happens over the Test Strategy & Design phase. Now i feel, Testing can still be improved.<br /><br />Currently i work in Services company in a Test Centre of Excellence for a Client and no one (Including the client) focus on Test Quality. Focus is on Process & Cost at all levels(including the client(i think we have sold the ideas to the client))<br /><br />In my opinion, the Reason behind this issue there, is mainly because Testing is driven mainly by QA Processes(CMM)<br /><br />Some time back, when i discussed with our onshore team regarding Function Interaction Testing, Multi Variable, Orthogonal Array analysis etc to improve the testing practice in India office, the reply i got was "It is not needed as they are not part of the prescribed processes and our existing quality is very good"<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819787014167254384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722108.post-15604470818384148582012-08-25T21:39:58.791+05:302012-08-25T21:39:58.791+05:30Thanks Fiona for dropping by.

With STE's calling writing unit tests as all of testing that can happen - no wonder that testing other than unit testing is difficult to be seen as essential part of creating software.<br /><br />Unit testing becomes difficult as dev's continuously run a rat race to complete stories and release new features - they need help - STE's pitch in and write unit tests.<br /><br />Time to ask what would a professional tester do now - writing unit tests, explore software problems and bugs, act on be half of customers or simply enable the rat race that product team is running to release software features?<br /><br />ShriniShrini Kulkarnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10782753752478547381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722108.post-30285276025149603772012-08-24T22:51:24.680+05:302012-08-24T22:51:24.680+05:30I do encounter a lot of people who want to push te...I do encounter a lot of people who want to push testing - user-level, black-box acceptance testing - onto their customers and partners.<br /><br />Pushing these people, I usually get them to talk about how, you know, testing is <i>hard</i> and they are confident of their code quality because of their unit tests. Pushing further, they admit that unit testing is also hard to do well. But they still think they don't need professional testers.Fionnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482711994985922118noreply@blogger.com
