| Six Exercises to Strengthen Traceability Achieving traceability within a product development lifecycle helps ensure that changes are shared across teams, in order to maintain quality and compliance. Good traceability strategies and best practices help eliminate unforeseen issues and provide a greater assurance of quality and communication. If your traceability isn't measuring up, it's time to pull the stakeholders together and complete the exercises in this paper, which will highlight exactly where your traceability is weakest and help you figure out how to strengthen it. |
| Agile Development Methodologies for Testers Testers who seek to better understand how testing can impact Agile development methodologies, and their roles in Agile testing, must take the lead in defining just what those roles are. By understanding Agile development processes and how testing can improve quality in these processes, testers can define their role as essential to building quality software. Learn how to redefine testing and ensure testing is an essential part of any Agile process. |
| Integrating Testing into Agile Development To make sure that testing resources are effectively used when adopting an Agile methodology, software development lifecycle managers must define an integral role for testers and take steps to ensure that testing continues its critical role in application development. Learn the steps that software managers can take to define and integrate testing into an Agile environment. |
| Recognizing the Danger Signs of Weak Traceability You know you need traceability in your product development process to ensure quality and manage the impact of change. Many businesses think their traceability process is strong enough, but there are always areas where improving your traceability practices can help your team meet quality, cost, compliance, and schedule constraints. If your company or department exhibits any of the six symptoms detailed in this paper, your traceability may not be as strong as you think. |
