Discover the shift-left approach and how retrospectives improve processes. Learn how DevOps impacts testing practices.
Chapter 3: Delve into static testing, its benefits, and comparisons with dynamic testing. Understand different types of products it can analyze. Master the review process, exploring roles, responsibilities, and various types for effective feedback.
Chapter 4: Uncover a range of test techniques, including black-box (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis), white-box (statement, branch testing), and experience-based (error guessing, exploratory testing). Collaboratively write user stories and acceptance criteria, leveraging Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD).
Chapter 5: Master test planning, crafting valuable plans and understanding your role in iteration and release planning. Learn to estimate test effort, prioritize test cases, and apply the testing pyramid and testing quadrants. Navigate risk management, identifying and mitigating project and product risks. Monitor, control, and complete testing, using metrics and effectively communicating status. Understand configuration and defect management.
Chapter 6: Explore how diverse testing tools streamline processes. Weigh the benefits and potential risks of test automation to make informed decisions.
