Projects do not always open up as planned. If the planned product and the actual product is different then risks become occurrences, stakeholder needs evolve, the world around us changes. Hence it is required and needed to bring the project back under control. [Read more…] about What is test control?
What is test monitoring in software testing?
Test monitoring can serve various purposes during the project, including the following:
- Give the test team and the test manager feedback on how the testing work is going, allowing opportunities to guide and improve the testing and the project.
- Provide the project team with visibility about the test results.
- Measure the status of the testing, test coverage and test items against the exit criteria to determine whether the test work is done.
- Gather data for use in estimating future test efforts.

What is test strategy in software testing?
The choice of test approaches or test strategy is one of the most powerful factor in the success of the test effort and the accuracy of the test plans and estimates. This factor is under the control of the testers and test leaders.
Let’s survey the major types of test strategies that are commonly found: [Read more…] about What is test strategy in software testing?
What are the factors affecting test effort in software testing?
When you create test plans and estimate the testing effort and schedule, you must keep these factors in mind otherwise your plans and estimates will mislead you at the beginning of the project and betray you at the middle or end.
The test strategies or approaches you pick will have a major influence on the testing effort. In this section, let’s look at factors related to the product, the process and the results of testing. [Read more…] about What are the factors affecting test effort in software testing?
What are the estimation techniques in software testing?
There are two techniques for estimation covered by the ISTQB Foundation Syllabus.
- One involves people with expertise on the tasks to be done and
- Other involves consulting the people who will do the work .
The first one involves analyzing metrics from past projects and from industry data.
Let’s look at both of them one by one. [Read more…] about What are the estimation techniques in software testing?
