  • Leading Practice: Test Strategy and Approach in Agile Projects
    CA SERVICES | LEADING PRACTICE Leading Practice: Test Strategy and Approach in Agile Projects Abstract This document provides best practices on how to strategize testing CA Project and Portfolio Management (CA PPM) in an agile project. The document does not include specific test cases; the list of test cases and steps for each test case are provided in a separate document. This document should be used by the agile project team that is planning the testing activities, and by end users who perform user acceptance testing (UAT). Concepts Concept Description Test Approach Defines testing strategy, roles and responsibilities of various team members, and test types. Testing Environments Outlines which testing is carried out in which environment. Testing Automation and Tools Addresses test management and automation tools required for test execution. Risk Analysis Defines the approach for risk identification and plans to mitigate risks as well as a contingency plan. Test Planning and Execution Defines the approach to plan the test cases, test scripts, and execution. Review and Approval Lists individuals who should review, approve and sign off on test results. Test Approach The test approach defines testing strategy, roles and responsibilities of various team members, and the test types. The first step is to define the testing strategy. It should describe how and when the testing will be conducted, who will do the testing, the type of testing being conducted, features being tested, environment(s) where the testing takes place, what testing tools are used, and how are defects tracked and managed. The testing strategy should be prepared by the agile core team.

  • Caesars Entertainment Defines and Measures ROI for Test Automation Case Study Caesars Entertainment Defines and Measures ROI for Test Automation
    CASE STUDY Caesars Entertainment Defines and Measures ROI for Test Automation Case Study Caesars Entertainment Defines and Measures ROI for Test Automation OVERVIEW Caesars Entertainment is a global leader in gaming and hospitality. After merging with Eldorado Resorts, the company is the largest casino operator in the United States and includes 24 brands. Caesars' top priority is its guests. They focus on building loyalty and value through a unique combination of great service, superb products, operational excellence, and technology leadership. In an endeavor to modernize and expand their customer-focused loyalty program, Caesars chose to integrate Salesforce as the foundation for the systems. To ensure successful implementation, they couldn't afford to gamble with quality. With test automation a critical factor in delivering a high-quality customer experience, Roosevelt Washington, senior IT manager of quality assurance at Caesars Entertainment, took the lead to successfully adopt test automation practices and deliver measurable value to the business. SAVED IN REDUCED TEST IMPROVED UI ONE YEAR EXECUTION TIME TEST AUTOMATION >$1 million 97% >96% 2 Case Study Caesars Entertainment Defines and Measures ROI for Test Automation THE CHALLENGES As Caesars has grown through acquisitions over the years, so has the number of developed applications. The result is multiple disconnected systems across multiple companies. It's extremely important to Caesars to create a seamless experience for their guests. That means that no matter which of the acquired 22 new properties guests choose to visit, they have a consistent experience. For example, they can take their reward card to any slot machine on any property and it will work the same way.

    Infotek Solutions Inc. Test Strategy Test Strategy is summarize or outline which describes the approach of software development cycle. Or The test levels to be performed in testing and the description of testing activities within those test levels are known as test strategy. It is created to inform project managers, testers and developers about some key points of testing process. Strategy also includes testing objective, methods to testing new functions, time and resource what will be used in project and testing environment. Test strategies describe how to mitigate the product risk at test level, which of types of test are to be performed in testing and which entry and exit criteria apply. Different Testing strategies may be adopted depending on the type of system to be test and the development process used. In this document we are going to discuss testing strategies on two different types of software testing. 1. Conventional Software 2. Object Oriented Software(OO software) Conventional Software Testing: It is traditional approach. It takes place mostly when water fall life cycle is used for development. Conventional software Testing focuses more on decomposition. Conventional software testing always takes place during the test phase of life cycle, which usually follows the development phase and proceeds the implementation phase. During the conventional testing phase, Three types of testing will be conducted 1. System Testing 2. Integration Testing 3. Unit Testing Object Oriented Software Testing: Using Object Oriented design or design along with Agile development methodology leads to Object Oriented Software Testing. Object Oriented testing is done having emphasis on Composition.

  • What Is Regression Testing?
    WHITEPAPER Top 10 Factors for a Successful Regression Test ORIGSOFT.COM What is regression testing? The skill of regression testing is in identifying all un-expected changes before the system is released. Those deemed as errors can then be removed thus ensuring the system has not regressed. Why regression test? It is simply to reduce the likelihood of errors in the software adversely affecting the users of that software. It is a risk mitigation technique and one that is very important saving companies time, money and the risk of significant embarrassment. What is a successful regression test? The number of defects found, or maybe the number of test cases ran? The only real measure of success, or failure, is the customer experience after the software is delivered. Our Finance If all is as it should be, and no defects have found their way through, then you have conducted a successful regression test. ORIGSOFT.COM The top 10 factors to enable a successful regression testing strategy. 1.Time window. There would be no point in planning a full system regression that lasted many weeks if the release had to be made tomorrow. The type of development life cycle being used will heavily influence the time window available to regression test a system. If an agile methodology is being used this would be a much smaller window than if the project is a longer waterfall effort. The efforts required coupled with the smaller time frames in agile can be mitigated somewhat by the release train approach. Depending on the size and scope of change it may be necessary to use risk-based methods to attempt to regression test in smaller time frames.

  • Reflection-Aware Static Regression Test Selection
    Reflection-Aware Static Regression Test Selection AUGUST SHI, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA MILICA HADZI-TANOVIC, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA LINGMING ZHANG, University of Texas at Dallas, USA DARKO MARINOV, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA OWOLABI LEGUNSEN, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Regression test selection (RTS) aims to speed up regression testing by rerunning only tests that are affected by code changes. RTS can be performed using static or dynamic analysis techniques. Our prior study showed that static and dynamic RTS perform similarly for medium-sized Java projects. However, the results of that prior study also showed that static RTS can be unsafe, missing to select tests that dynamic RTS selects, and that reflection was the only cause of unsafety observed among the evaluated projects. 187 In this paper, we investigate five techniquesÐthree purely static techniques and two hybrid static-dynamic techniquesÐthat aim to make static RTS safe with respect to reflection. We implement these reflection-aware (RA) techniques by extending the reflection-unaware (RU) class-level static RTS technique in a tool called STARTS. To evaluate these RA techniques, we compare their end-to-end times with RU, and with RetestAll, which reruns all tests after every code change. We also compare safety and precision of the RA techniques with Ekstazi, a state-of-the-art dynamic RTS technique; precision is a measure of unaffected tests selected. Our evaluation on 1173 versions of 24 open-source Java projects shows negative results. The RA techniques improve the safety of RU but at very high costs.
