Everything seems to be great. Your boss trusts you. He counts on you. You have a good
chance to prove yourself in your task. But the truth is:
•
Test Management is not just a single activity. It consists of a series of activities

Test Management Process
•
Test Management Process is a procedure of managing the
software testing activities from start to the end.
•
The test management process provides planning,
controlling, tracking and monitoring facilities throughout
the whole project cycle.
•
The process involves several activities like test planning,
designing and test execution.
•
It gives an initial plan and discipline to the software testing
process.

There are two main Parts of Test Management Process: -
•
Planning
–
Risk Analysis
–
Test Estimation
–
Test Planning
–
Test Organization
•
Execution
–
Test Monitoring and Control

Test Report and Evaluation

Planning
Risk Analysis and Solution
•
Risk is the potential loss (an undesirable outcome, however
not necessarily so) resulting from a given action or an activity.
•
Risk Analysis is the first step which Test Manager should
consider before starting any project.
•
Because all projects may contain risks, early risk detection
and identification of its solution will help Test Manager
to avoid potential loss in the future & save on project cost.

Test Estimation
•
An estimate is a forecast or prediction. Test
Estimation is approximately determining how
long a task would take to complete.
•
Estimating effort for the test is one of
the major and important tasks in Test
Management.

Benefits of correct estimation:
•
Accurate test estimates lead to better
planning, execution and monitoring of tasks
under a test manager's attention.
•
Allow for more accurate scheduling and help
realize results more confidently.

Test Planning
•
A Test Plan can be defined as a document
describing the scope , approach , resources ,
and schedule of intended Testing activities.
•
A project may fail without a complete Test
Plan. Test planning is particularly important in
large software system development.

•
In software testing, a test plan
gives detailed testing information regarding
an upcoming testing effort, including:
–
Test Strategy
–
Test Objective
–
Exit /Suspension Criteria
–
Resource Planning
–
Test Deliverables
