Impose retroactive financial penalties on this vendor for the number of bugs delivered on this project.

Perform an acceptance test for all systems received, with particular rigor for this vendor.

Cancel the contract with this vendor and put it on an industry blacklist.

Require the vendor's developers to attend training to improve their ability to write quality code.

Testing for performance problems

Hiring a contractor after a key test analyst quits

Procuring extra test environments in case one fails during testing

Performing a project retrospective using test results

Schedule compression pressure is always there

Pressurized development

Experimental model of early testing and not confidence building

Test team involved late

Schedule compression pressure is always there

Regression of N+1 increment is always complex

Bugs planning failure

Lack of testing culture in agile world

Schedule compression pressure is always there

Flexibility in TC and design changes of system is too often

Experimental model of early testing and not confidence building

Dealing with unknowns

Creates uncertainty in relating other test work products (e.g., test cases) to the test basis and test objectives, thus providing better and more detailed monitoring and control for a Test Manager.

Contributes to defect injection, as discussed in the Foundation Level, by occurring early in a project for higher levels of testing, as soon as the test basis is established and potentially before system architecture and detailed design are available.

Potentially will influence and direct not just other testing activities, but also other development activities.

Level of formality needs to be defined and implemented across the team.

Lightweight test design documentation methods, such as checklists, are being used due to accommodate the development lifecycle, cost and/or time constraints or other factors.

Little or no formal requirements or other development work products are available as the test basis

The project is large-scale, complex or high risk and requires a level of monitoring and control that cannot be delivered by simply relating test cases to development work products.

Less complex projects where simple hierarchical relationships exist between what is to be tested and how it is to be tested.

The activity that defines “how” something is to be tested.

The activity during which tests are organized and prioritized by the Test Analysts.

Traceability from the test results back to the test conditions, the test basis, and ultimately the test objectives, and also from the test objectives forward to the test results.

The information requirements and methods for collection and are part of test planning, monitoring and control.

All of the work products and activities for a given phase (e.g., requirements, design, implementation, unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing) are completed before the next phase begins.

The features to be implemented are grouped together (e.g., according to business priority or risk), and then the various project phases, including their work products and activities, occur for each group of features.

Work products and activities for each iteration are concluded before the next iteration starts.

Prototypes are used early in the project to confirm feasibility and to experiment with design and implementation decisions, using the level of business priority and technical risk to select the order in which the prototyping experiments are carried out.

Involves comparing actual progress against the plan and implementing corrective actions when needed.

Can be identified by analysis of the test basis, test objectives, and product risks.

Involves the identification of test cases by the stepwise elaboration of the identified test conditions or test basis using test techniques identified in the test strategy or the test plan.

Is the activity in which test designs are implemented as concrete test cases, test procedures, and test data.

Test planning starts at the initiation of the test process for that level and continues throughout the project until the completion of closure activities for that level.

Negotiation should include consultation with relevant project stakeholders about the schedule.

Members of the test team provide information required for exit criteria reporting to avoid having to conduct a lessons learned meeting after testing is completed.

Ensure that effective processes are in place to provide project status reports for users.

Is the activity during which tests are organized and prioritized by the Test Analysts.

Begins once the test object is delivered and the entry criteria to test execution are satisfied.

Is the activity that defines “what” is to be tested in the form of test conditions.

Is the activity that defines “how” something is to be tested.

Frequency and level of detail required are dependent on the project and should be negotiated during the test planning phase in consultation with relevant project stakeholders.
