Discover how Microsoft implements and manages the
software-testing process company-wide - with guidance and
insights direct from its test managers. Organizing any
testing program - the people, processes, and tools - can
be challenging and resource intensive. Even when the
necessary tradeoffs are made, no development team can
test every scenario. This book explains how a worldwide
leader in software, services, and solutions - staffed
with 8,000 testers - implements and manages its testing
process effectively company-wide. Whether you're a tester
or test manager, you'll gain expert insights on effective
testing techniques and methodologies - including pros and
cons of various approaches. To add interesting context,
the book also shares such facts as the number of test
machines at Microsoft, how the company uses automated
test cases, and bug statistics. It answers key testing
questions, such as who tests what, when, and with what
tools. And it describes how test teams are organized,
when and how testing gets automated, testing tools, and
feedback - with illuminating insights for software-
development organizations of all kinds.
