A good testing tool is half the battle.
The ease of setting up a testing project. Quick acceptance by organizations with low test maturity. The simplicity of coordinating and managing testers. Real-time visibility into test coverage and progress. Out-of-the-box integrations, for example with JIRA. Experience completely without obligation what Testersuite can do for your test project.
The level is low and there is little time
Every test manager runs into this problem in their testing projects. Administrators and end users who need to test know the process but have little to no understanding of testing. Good test cases do not exist so they must be created. But how do you get that done if the knowledge and skill to create good test cases is lacking? And what can you do if too little time is set aside for creating test cases?
Providing a clear structure and support in creating the test scenarios gives the testers a foothold. In this way, you enable them to elaborate the test scenarios independently. Working with reusable building blocks can also save time. Having some of the testers test 'exploratory' instead of 'scenario-based' can also save time. It is then important that the testers can easily record the test steps and test results during exploratory testing.
With Testersuite you quickly set up a good structure of test cases and test scenarios. In addition, both exploratory testing and scenario-based testing are supported. We are happy to show you how this works!
Little commitment to my testing approach
Many testing projects are conducted within organizations where test maturity is very low. This means that it is difficult to gain sufficient understanding and commitment to a structured testing approach.
For many test managers, the challenge of a testing project begins with obtaining clear, measurable requirements. Here it is important that the requirements have a relationship to the test objects they relate to (e.g., application modules). When this is done then test cases must be created for the requirements. The test cases should be executed on the test object with the test results and test findings recorded. Such a structured test approach makes a lot of sense to you as a test manager. But how do you ensure understanding and commitment for your approach within the organization?
A lot of explaining and communicating you will say. True, but you are a lot more effective when you do this using a structured test approach in Testersuite. Everyone will quickly understand how the testing process works, why such a structured approach is important, and what is expected of them within the testing process. Wondering how this can help you in your testing project?
Reporting to stakeholders takes a lot of time
Reporting on test coverage and progress is important to keep stakeholders informed about the status of your test project. The first question you will ask yourself is "who are my stakeholders? The next question is what are their expectations, what information do they need and with what frequency? Once this is clear, as a test manager you have to make sure that you meet the expectations of your stakeholders. This is often difficult and very time-consuming. That's a shame because it needs to take little to no time when you have a good test approach and use a good test management tool.
Testersuite includes by default most of the reports you need as a test manager to report properly. In addition, you can easily create your own reports in Testersuite. You can share the reports with your stakeholders or give stakeholders access with read access so they can monitor the status of the test project themselves. Curious about the possibilities? We would like to show you how you can easily report from a structured test approach with Testersuite.
A uniform method of working is important
With structure and uniformity, you can ensure that everyone in your test project works in the same way. This prevents ambiguity and misunderstandings and you prevent unnecessary delays in the test work. This means that there must be clear agreements on how things are to be registered. Think of describing test scenarios, recording test results and registering test findings. This often involves the use of multiple tools such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint but also e-mails. This means that a uniform way of recording in your test project becomes very difficult. Relating different parts such as requirements, test cases and test findings to each other is almost impossible. And then you, as the test manager, have to ensure good test reports based on all those separate documents. A very time-consuming and error-prone job.
When you use Testersuite in your test project, a uniform way of working and recording is enforced. You keep things centralized and you as a test manager spend much less time educating the testers in your test project. For example, you can require testers to make a test finding if they give a test step the status Not OK. And when recording test findings, the tester is encouraged to attach a screenshot. As a result, as a test manager, you spend a lot less time chasing testers who do not register any or incomplete defects . You have visibility into the status of your test project at all times and no unnecessary time is wasted because the way of working is clear to everyone. Wondering how this works in Testersuite?
