Résumé

Faster testing for faster time-to-market.

Accelerated testing strategies to beat the competition
Tips for successfully integrating testing into a fast-track development strategy
Templates for creating your own testing documentation instantly

The breakneck pace and fierce competition in today's software market demand that products get to market as quickly as possible. The challenge of maintaining quality while meeting deadlines leads to new strategies for testing through the development process. While no software is flawless, the goal of rapid testing is to identify major bugs early in the development process, requiring integration of test planning, execution, and reporting throughout the life cycle.

Rapid Testing offers a three-part approach to help you streamline your testing process and increase quality without sacrificing time:

principles and processes of rapid testing
techniques, tips, and real-life examples
a complete set of sample test documentation

With an emphasis on speed and integration, Rapid Testing covers the entire testing life cycle, including:

Planning and test case design and development
Bug tracking and reporting
Verification and validation techniques
Testing metrics and test resource estimation
Measurement, reporting, documentation, and evaluation

Conveniently organized for handy reference, Rapid Testing is an ideal guide for test engineers and managers, as well as other developers and managers involved in the testing process.
