Beyond Testing – Introduction to Test Management
It is impossible to have testing without test management. The discipline of test management goes deeper than just managing the testing team. Working in this role, you will get the opportunity to build a robust and supportive working environment for the testing team, which will help your team not only do an excellent job but also feel content and accomplished in their work. You will get the chance to advocate for QA as a discipline, but also support your team and advocate for bugs and testability. In this chapter, you will learn from practical examples how you can leverage various test reports in order to do so. We will also learn about test planning and methods in depth that can support us in our work with testing estimations.
In this chapter, we will cover the following in detail:
- A test management role
- A test plan
- Methods to help you estimate testing efforts
- Test planning and execution coverage
