We will take you on a journey through the wonderful world of Testing by running through the Testing Lifecycle. For those of you who are not familiar with the Testing Life cycle the story starts at the very beginning with the Clients requirements. From here it enters the planning Stage then swiftly moves onto the Design & Build, where the Developers create the magical system that the Client requires. We then move onto Test Environment Set Up and Test Execution, where the Test team gets involved by creating Test Scripts & raising any Defects/Issues.
Our day to day journey can vary depending on the tasks assigned to us, which could be reviewing requirements or writing test scripts which will be run during test execution. We raise any Defects/Issues we encounter along the way which are assigned to the Developer who built the system. We then test any fixes that the Developer has implemented before the system is delivered to the client.
During test execution we create a user manual/guide & send this to the client ready for them to use whilst they complete their testing. We also visit the clients and deliver a User Training session which consists of running through the system configuration, creating users and setting up any data that the Client will require to test the system.
To complete the process, we ensure delivery of the system that is implemented and that it meets the requirements from the beginning of the journey. We are also at hand to support our clients when it is time for them to enter the world of testing, so that their journey becomes a wonderful experience.
Introduction to the Testing Team:
