Test Management
Independent testing is usually cheaper than testing your own work.
Independent testing is more effective at finding defects.
Independent testers should determine the processes and methodologies used.
Independent testers are dispassionate about whether the project succeeds or fails.
Develop system requirements, design specifications and usage models.
Handle all test automation duties.
Keep tests and test coverage hidden from programmers.
Gather and report test progress metrics.
A test manager manages a collection of test leaders.
A test manager is the leader of a test team or teams.
A test manager gets paid more than a test leader.
A test manager reports to a test leader.
The test plan describes one or more levels of testing, the test design specification identifies the associated high-level test cases and a test procedure specification describes the actions for executing a test.
The test plan is for managers, the test design specification is for programmers and the test procedure specification is for testers who are automating tests.
The test plan is the least thorough, the test procedure specification is the most thorough and the test design specification is midway between the two.
The test plan is finished in the first third of the project, the test design specification is finished in the middle third of the project and the test procedure specification is finished in the last third of the project.
Geographical separation of tester and programmers.
The departure of the test manager during the project.
The quality of the information used to develop the tests.
Unexpected long-term illness by a member of the project team.

Percentage of test cases written.
Number of test environments remaining to be configured.
Number of defects found and fixed.
Percentage of requirements for which a test has been written.
The remaining 15 defects should be confirmation tested prior to release.
The remaining 10% of test cases should be run prior to release.
The system is now ready for release with no further testing or development effort.
The programmers should focus their attention on fixing the remaining known defects prior to release.

Determine the extent of testing required for the product risks and the mitigation and contingency actions required for the project risks.
Obtain the resources needed to completely cover each product risk with tests and transfer responsibility for the project risks to the project manager.
Execute sufficient tests for the product risks, based on the likelihood and impact of each product risk and execute mitigation actions for all project risks.
No further risk management action is required at the test planning stage.
