Strategy, Planning and Organization of Test Processes: Basis for Successful Project Execution in Software Testing

by Frank Witte

Overview

The book provides concrete tips for the successful organization of software tests. Because: Planning and conception in advance are essential for successful test projects. Setting the right course prevents problems from the outset and highlights the need for action in software testing. In addition to theoretical basics, this work shows the implementation in practice and deals with typical problems. Frank Witte explains the decisive aspects to be considered in the test concept in order to optimally support and accompany the test process.

This book is a translation of the original German 1^st edition Strategie, Planung und Organisation von Testprozessen by Frank Witte, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

About the Author

Frank Witte has many years of experience in software testing in various companies and industries. With every new software project, he finds it necessary to comprehensively plan test activities and organize the test. Therefore, he has already written several test concepts himself and experienced what is particularly important and which problems can be identified in advance and at the beginning of test processes, but also proactively prevented or reduced.
