About the Presentation

Test analysis is an activity that has accompanied testing for a very long time. What makes it even more interesting is that it is talked about everywhere, but you can't actually find exact instructions on how to implement it anywhere. It is often pushed to the sidelines, especially when projects are in a time deficit or agile methodologies are applied.

So it happens that the testers analyze the situation, what to test, only at the moment when they are already physically testing, insufficient emphasis is placed on the evidence and the quality of the test scenarios.

We would like to share our recent experience on how to support the perception of the importance and usefulness of quality test analysis within the framework of project solutions in a specific company.

Furthermore, we would like to share our experience with leading and motivating the test team to a high standard of defining test scenarios in full scope.

Key take aways:

  • How to practically support test analysis in the daily work of the test team
  • Possible arguments why and to whom a good test analysis will help
  • Test data as an integral part of test analysis output and how to define it
  • Tips for test automation from the point of view of test analysis
