Target readers
- Managers, PMs and developers who are puzzling over the balance between quality and cost in a large-scale project
- Managers, PMs and developers who have a problem with prolonged development time due to an enormous volume of testing in a large-scale project
Common issues
- One issue often encountered in a large-scale project is that increased test volume leads to higher development costs and longer development time.
- However, it is difficult to determine the right test volume because the test volume and quality have a trade-off relationship. That is, reducing the test volume may lead to a system failure due to insufficient testing. As a result, there are many cases where a company invests in many testers to complete testing.
The value of this knowledge (Know-how)
It is possible to reduce the test volume while ensuring high quality.
In this project example, we will mainly introduce the following on-site know-how items:
- Theory of reducing the test volume without diminishing the quality (proof of the theory using data)
- Practical test criteria based on the above theory
- Tool that streamlines creation of a test case along with the above test criteria
- Actual test case (excerpt of the main parts)
