Warfighter's Mission-Critical System: Automated Testing and Test Management

Abstract

Warfighter's mission-critical system: Agile automated testing and test management. Do any of these problems sound familiar? -Too many failed scripts - Slipping schedules - Automation tools that never get off the shelf - Incomplete test coverage - Do more with less, and - Be creative in performing the business. Then, come and listen to the story of Warfighter's mission critical application testing. This case study reveals how testers used automated functional, performance, and Service Test scripts for a major mission-critical application that had to meet the most rigorous quality standards. Also, working in an agile environment, the team managed end-to-end requirements and defects and performed functional, SOA and performance testing. With risk based and automated test strategies, the team was able to do automated regression and smoke tests in a fast-paced development - agile environment and managed test results, test sets, and test-related artifacts. It was a very successful project, completed on time with very limited resources.
