Test Monitoring & Test Control During Software Test Execution

Abstract

This guide is intended to “Test Monitoring & Test Control during Software Test Execution" interested in applying automation to software testing. It involves a system engineering process based on the scientific method to conduct and achieve an automation capability and the critical need to perform a return-on-investment analysis to make the business case for automation. For the first time, some businesses are considering automation. For that audience, we recommend following through with all of the steps outlined in the installation guide—others organizations with prior automation experience. There is also a plethora of information accessible. There is a wealth of information in textbooks and on the internet. Some software acquisition programs have had some automation exposure or experience and are looking to improve one or more parts of their automation process. Typical objectives are to select additional system functions or capabilities to automate, secure more Automators, or change or expand the tools used. Only a portion of the guide may apply to those individuals. The following phases of implementation are used to arrange the guide.
