Holistic Test Analysis and Design
To test professionally and understand software risks fully, we need to know what our tests cover. Counting test cases is not enough-that's like sizing business requirements by counting program modules. Neil Thompson presents a test analysis and design method that integrates four key elements into a holistic approach: test items, testable features, test basis documents, and product risks. Testing standards and many textbooks have anaesthetized us into the delusion that test cases are simple and can easily be derived through basic techniques. This is false thinking. According to Neil, we must consider and prioritize all available test techniques, incorporating both exploratory techniques and new thinking into our testing. Join Neil to learn a holistic approach for test design and the need for more complete information traceability.
