Opis

Software testing is a major phase in software development, and it is significant to standardize and align the testing structures and processes with business strategy. Test governance that combines software testing with development, addresses the coordination of software testing at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Understanding the importance of test governance and the factors that influence governance in testing will ensure increased transparency in decision making, increased control and accountability, risk mitigation, resource utilization in testing and provide strategic direction to the business. This book intends to identify factors and practices that influence test governance in software development organizations. Test governance is influenced by the factors such as a clear testing policy, explicit test strategies, test plans for training and mentoring, continuous test audits and reviews, and distinct units for software testing. Thus, software organizations can implement a test governance framework that ensures all the testing activities are aligned with the organization's strategic direction to enable the effective integration of development and testing.
