In the course of a test project numerous results – the so called Testware – will be produced, e.g. test case specifications, test schedules, test data, test protocols, defect descriptions, etc. In dependency of the project size big and confusing data amounts can be generated. It is often necessary to access this data later on for example because of defect analysis, regression tests but also as a proof of fulfillment of the contract between customer and contractor in a software delevopment project.
A well defined structure and an efficient archiving of the testware is an essential basis for reuse. Take advantage of our knowhow on structuring and archiving of testware in order to use important documents again at a later time.
Approach
In a workshop we will define jointly which result has to be archived in which way. On this regard we will consider the following aspects:
- Compulsatory retention period
- Independency of tools to assure that results can also be read after ten years using the latest software version
- Possibly scheduled regression tests, i. e. consideration regarding reusability
- Future defect solving, because performed test cases are a good basis for error searching
If you want to outsource the physical archiving we offer the service to store your test project data on our servers.
Results
- Filing structure for Testware
- Optional: outsourced archiving of Testware
Benefit
- Structured filing of your Testware and therefore an improved reusability
- Reuse of test cases and templates
- Archiving of Testware according to compulsatory directives
- [oursourced archiving]
Prerequisites
A concluded test project.
