As a result of increased competition, businesses are currently pushing their products out to the market in record time. Some e-commerce businesses even are on a weekly release cycle. Add to that the current economic conditions coupled with the demand for higher quality software, testers are now facing unprecedented challenges.Many test groups have developed hundreds if not thousands of automated and manual test scenarios. As developers constantly change code, and as the amount of time given to testers decreases, finding out how to test the changed code becomes more and more problematic. It is neither practical nor efficient to run all the scenarios on such a frequent basis due to a few code changes. Approaches that address the impact of code changes and identify which scenarios to execute will save time and increase quality.
This presentation will discuss an effective unit/integration testing strategy for rapid release schedules. The focus will be on
Identifying changes Assessing the change impact Identifying which scenarios to execute
Time permitting, client success stories will be discussed as well.
