Objective
Software testing is very labour intensive across the industry. As our product grows in functionality it also increases in complexity. Ideally the product will be flexible enough to run on different platforms. Credo needs to keep up with the fast changing technologies of today. We need to organise our testing processes to allow automated testing to ease the costs associated with regression testing which is the main objective.
The costs of testing is a concern shared across the whole software industry.
THE EXPERIMENT
The experiment will involve benchmarking manual tests in old projects. The process of testing will be defined and applied to baseline projects. This includes the use of metrics, designing new test specifications, and the criteria for accepting software for testing. Test automation plays a key factor in this experiment.
There are 66 staff in Credo Group; 27 in actual development.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Reduced test time for major releases, improved software quality and customer responsiveness, allowing market expansion.
A complementary goal is to make testing more interesting for those involved, promoting it as an attractive, alternate career path.
