Summary

  • Testing enables the assessment of the quality of the product being produced.

  • Testing in an iterative process occurs in all phases of the lifecycle, enabling early feedback on product quality to be used to improve the product as it is designed and built. Testing is not just an end-of-lifecycle activity intended to approve or reject the developed system; it is a vital part of the project's ongoing feedback mechanism.

  • Quality is everyone's responsibility. Quality is not produced by a quality-assurance or testing organization. In an iterative process, testing provides feedback on quality measures to the development organization in a timely manner, enabling it to improve the quality of the system.

  • The test workflow provides a project feedback mechanism, enabling quality to be measured and defects to be identified and resolved before they become unworkable. Testing activities begin early in the project, with test planning and some assessment occurring even in the inception phase, and continue throughout the project.
