Testing approach

< Best practices for testing

Introduction
It is a best practice to describe your testing approach in a Powerpoint or Word document.

What to describe?

 * What should be tested? Start with the question what you are going to test. Sometimes you only have some userstories, a functional design or a featurelist.
 * Test coordinator: It is smart to give somebody the role of test coordinator. Preferably this is not the scrum master, product owner or project leader, but somebody from the team. In an ideal situation the test coordinator facilitates the test team. If the project leader wants to be the test coordinator, start a dialogue with him about how he/ she wants to test.
 * Test environment: It is a best practice to create a development and test environment. Discuss this with the coordinator of the development team.
