Creating a Test Plan Database for Standardized Tests Across Multiple Nodes

This paper accompanies a STAR presentation that takes the participant on a journey through the long-term effort to transform a manual test-tracking approach to a database-drive approach.

The original testing approach offered test security to the project, but took up unnecessary time that could have been better spent on actually testing the application! The concepts were all there from the start, and only through the manual testing coordination efforts was it discovered that there is a better way - the database way!

See the old approach and the extensive administrative labor involved. Then, witness the combination of necessary testing procedures with the efficient and accurate solution that a test plan database can offer.
