As organizations strive to remain competitive and profitable they must rely on their IT project teams to deliver new applications and additional business functionality. The focus for IT project teams is to develop and deliver applications within a specific schedule and under a certain cost.

All projects are initiated and planned with defined objectives and the best of intention, however, all too often a project team must face an unwelcomed dilemma. That being – when a project was originally scheduled to be completed within a 12 month period yet it is the 11th month and testing (unit, integration, user acceptance) has not yet started.

Organizations are left with one of two unsavory options:

1. They can push back the implementation date to perform the needed and necessary testing or ……
2. Tthey can adhere to the original schedule to implement the solution without ensuring an appropriate and safe level of testing has been performed.

Wanted: An approach project testing teams can employ to adhere to project schedule and costing expectations while ensuring the proper and necessary amount of testing vigor has been incorporated into an application prior to it being released into a production environment.
