Do you get too little time and too few resources to do the testing you know needs to be done?

You’re probably a victim of testing budgets and schedules that are set irrespective of needed tests.

To have a prayer of negotiating achievable testing, you need to apply proven estimation techniques, starting with positively defining needed tests and related tasks.

Learn how to:

• Recognize why you’re repeatedly stuck with impossible testing budgets and schedules
• Identify positively the tests you need for confidence the product works properly
• Make supportable estimates of the direct and indirect work for responsible testing

Test management has come to be equated with what various automated tools do, but truly managing testing as a project applies powerful practices to testing’s unique challenges and produces far greater results.

Learn to better define and communicate how you’ll reliably deliver testing’s full value so you can negotiate for the scarce time, resources, and influence you need to do it.

• Common test management tool capabilities and limitations
• Added benefits of managing testing as a project vs. an activity
• Tailoring project management methods to testing’s unique challenges

(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana Webinar

Whether your project is agile or not, it is critical that you practice good requirement and/or user story management.

Requirements and user stories do not just exist by themselves. Instead, they are linked to other artifacts such as test cases and test sets, scenarios and/or acceptance criteria, code and design components, tasks, risks, and actions.

Requirements and user stories also change during the course of a project and over the lifecycle of an application. Some requirements or user stories originate from user requests, some evolve from bug reports or issues, and some are even enhancements to existing functionalities.

A good requirement/user story management tool must support all these aspects of features.

In this webinar Magdy Hanna will demonstrate how the requirement / user story component of Rommana ALM supports all these aspects and more.

The intent is to help you understand true requirement and user story management so that you can make an informed decision regarding tool selection and tool adoption.

If you are already using a tool to manage your requirements and/or user stories, this webinar should help you customize your tool to support all these aspects.

Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

He has trained over 50,000 professionals around the world over the last 20 years. As a professor of Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas , he taught graduate courses on several software engineering topics with emphasis on practical software quality techniques.

Dr. Hanna developed new approaches and methods in software engineering including the Scenario-Based Development and Testing (SBDT), Requirement-Based Project Management (RBPM), Software Quality Engineering Methodology (SQEngineer), the Unified Data Model (UDM), and the Data-Driven Object Model ( DOM ). Dr. Hanna and his instructors conduct hundreds of free online webinars each year.

Dr. Hanna also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Software Test Professionals, a publication of IIST, now the Bug Free Zone.

Testing too often gets no respect—too little time, too few resources, and increasingly omission from projects.

It may be hard to admit, but these all signal your testing process is perceived as failing to deliver needed value.

The key to gaining the respect you crave is to manage your testing process proactively so it cost-effectively produces results that everyone recognizes as valuable.

• Identifying your REAL testing process and why managing it matters
• Keys to improving the value your testing produces
• Making it work in Agile projects, even ones without “testers”

Learn how in this interactive webinar.

When executing test automation at scale and continuously the value tends to decline over time, the team should follow recommended practices to keep their tests with high value.

Getting the value from your test automation is fundamental for fast feedback, risk reduction and return on investment from your testing activities. Getting the value from your test automation is fundamental for fast feedback, risk reduction and return on investment from your testing activities.

Once developing the test scenarios, teams cannot stop monitoring and ensuring that their tests continuously bring value, are not flaky, and can support the latest functionalities in your web and mobile apps.

Teams often “forget” about their tests once they have been developed and integrated into the CI pipeline regardless of the value they bring.

1. How to make smart decisions regarding which test scenarios to automate?
2. What are the criteria for a test to get included in the CI and continuous testing pipeline?
3. How to continuously maintain the tests and optimize your suite so it continues to bring value?
4. See a live demo of smart reporting and analytics that can serve as a monitoring and test maintenance tool
