test management Questions

Hi, I'm just wondering what would a software tester do when they have iddle time and is encouraged to do exploratory test on the product. How do you set the test plan and what are things you would like to include on the test result report?

The Zephyr Api: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.thed.zephyr.zapi/cloud/installation

Power BI: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/

Has anyone managed to actually integrate the api into Power BI? and if so how did you do it? The jira rest-api has been integrated but vital information based on test cycles is all missing.

 

Is there a free alternative to ZAPI to expose that data as well?

 

Thank you!

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on how End to End testing across multiple applications could/should be managed across agile teams, where the teams are responsible for an application/system with integration with another application/system.

I'd be interested in knowing how other companies handle this from a strategic and project level.  Thanks

Have you used qtpselenium.com to learn automation tools? please advise

In traditional waterfall and agile processes we implement a test strategy to set expectations (and receive feedback) on approach for a release (multiple sprints of work) and test summary to capture results of the execution (functionl, security, and performance testing).  

In a a CI/CD model when we have a 2 week sprint and plan to deploy every 2 weeks it seems a bit cumbersome to do a strategy and summary every 2 weeks.  Ideally the summary could be pulled from an automation tool and produced to a dashboard so that should not be too bad.

Is there a different approach to the strategy?  

Are there other quality tollgates (maybe a bad choice of words) that we should consider?

From a quality process audit perspective is there anything else to consider?

Any feedack appreciated.

Have you been measuring how many defects you find at unit testing and system testing per KLOC and how much may cost to fix them?

 

I can find some information like:

with code reviews + unit testing one can find up to 70% of the defects.

https://www.iiitd.edu.in/~jalote/papers/2WCSQPaper.pdf

Other studies say that the cost of finding and fixing a defect at unit testing is $428 and at system testing is $1045.

Do you know more benchmarks per industry type ?

What is your experience ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

I am visiting my offshore team for the first time, ant tips on how to make the most of the trip?

 

We have an offshore team ratio 65-35. I have recently been appointed Head of the testing department and I am visiting the offshore team. Do you have any tips on what types of activities/tasks I can do with my team to get the most from this visit.

 

Thanks!
