Executive Summary

Any software quality assurance (SQA) manager who has presided over a testing cycle understands the importance of creating an organized test plan — it's a great way to make certain that testing professionals are as comprehensive as possible while executing their testing scripts. Because time, capabilities, and bandwidth are always issues, having a solid test plan is important, but it is not enough. In tough economic times, organizations must take a more dynamic approach to test coverage in order to trim costs incurred from unnecessary tests as well as to ensure ample coverage in risk and security testing. The most efficient and pragmatic way to do this is via test management, which involves leveraging a collection of processes and tools that enables testers to take a more strategic approach to testing, prioritizing key test functions, accounting for risk, planning for coverage, and controlling test execution. By employing effective test management, development shops will ensure that they run the right tests, which will help them avoid releasing an application that is not ready for prime time.
