AUDITS AND TEST PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

AUDITS AND TEST PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Functional testing, also known as functionality testing, aims to verify whether a given application, system, or software operates according to business requirements and meets user expectations. Simply put, testers check if the program works as it should.

IN OUR AUDITS, WE RELY ON METHODOLOGIES SUCH AS:

  • TPI Next – Test Process Improvement (Next):

    This approach focuses on enhancing testing processes by identifying areas that can be improved. Using TPI Next, it is possible to thoroughly understand current testing processes and determine how they can be optimized.

  • TMMi – Test Maturity Model Integration:

    TMMi is a model that helps organizations assess the maturity of their testing processes. With this tool, we can identify the maturity stage of an organization's testing processes and develop an effective improvement strategy.

Collaboration with the client, based on openness and honesty, is essential for conducting a thorough audit.

WE REQUIRE INFORMATION RELATED TO:

  • Structure of the organization and testing team:

    Understanding the organizational and testing team structure helps us identify roles and responsibilities within the testing process.

  • Description of procedures and processes used within the organization and the testing team:

    Understanding current procedures and processes allows us to evaluate their effectiveness and identify potential improvements.

  • Test specifications:

    Detailed test specifications are crucial for evaluating whether tests are properly planned and implemented.

  • Test results:

    Analyzing test results helps identify potential issues and shortcomings in the software.

  • Bug reports:

    Information about reported defects is invaluable for assessing the quality of the testing process, especially when detailed descriptions and key phrases like "test process improvement" are included.

Audit findings provide a solid foundation for developing a testing process improvement plan. Through continuous improvement of the testing process, organizations can achieve higher software quality, reduce product delivery time, and minimize defect risks, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the market.
