Framework for Collaborative Software Testing Efforts Between Cross-Functional Teams Aiming at High Quality End Product

摘要

Currently software testing has become critical, expensive (time and cost), effort intensive activity. There are times when software development teams keep the testing activities until a feature development completion which impacts the delivery and quality. To overcome certain friction in quality, there are methods like automation which are applied to various phases of development but often the regression element is skipped. The paper stresses on key elements like automation, quality metrics, feedback and collaboration between cross units in case of diverse team sets in a large organization. The paper tries to present a framework where collaboration, standardization of software testing approach at each level of development becomes critical for successful and high-quality software delivery.
