Courses on QA for ERP implementations

I do quality assurance lead work on medium scale ERP implementation projects, relatively complex and 1-2 years long.  Most of what I do is helping clients create their testing strategy, plan test events, gather results, train and manage testers, etc... I do very little actual testing.  I've taken some courses on quality assurance (for example, ISTQB), however I find most of the information is specific to greenfield software development; I struggle to find anything specific to ERP implementations, which are a different animal entirely.  There are some concept similarities, but I've had to build my own system for what I do.

I'm always keen to sharpen my skills, but the well is pretty dry here.  Am I alone in this?  Is anyone else looking for this type of information?  I can find a few blogs here and there, but nothing substantive.

Is there a demand for pre-made test cases in the software testing marketplace?

Numerous standard features, such as Login, Logout, and Forgot Password, have matured to a common level. If we could create test cases for these features in a template-like format, it could significantly streamline testing efforts for both testers and companies. Similar to selling prints on Etsy or brushes on Gumroad, this template-based approach might find a place on a dedicated platform.

I'm curious if such a service already exists on any platform and whether there is a demand for it. Your insights are appreciated!

How to Develop a Comprehensive Test Plan for Manual Testing?

Hello, everyone!

 

I've been working as a manual tester for over 3 years now, and I've encountered various challenges along the way. One of the most critical aspects that I feel often gets overlooked is developing a robust test plan. While Automated Testing gets much attention, especially in discussions about CI/CD pipelines, I believe that manual testing still plays an essential role in software development, especially for testing usability, exploring edge cases, and ensuring the quality of the final product.

 

I wanted to create a forum topic that delves into the intricate world of Manual Testing. Specifically, how do you go about creating a comprehensive test plan?

 

Here are some questions I have in mind:

 

Scope Definition: How do you define the scope of your manual testing? Do you strictly adhere to specifications and requirements, or do you also explore the application beyond that?

Exploratory Testing: Why Is It Not Ideal for Agile Projects? Exploratory Testing: Why Is It Not Ideal for Agile Projects?

As the Agile environment has efficient principles that allow quick responses to changes and the ability to deal with uncertainty, exploratory testing may seem like a perfect match for such projects. However, this is only partially true. In reality, diverse reasons impede its usage in Agile projects, and companies should take them into account before designing QA strategies.

Help Needed with Manual Testing Interview Questions

Hello all,I'm preparing for a manual testing interview and I'm having some trouble figuring out how to answer some of the questions. I'm especially stuck on a particular question involving writing code. I referred to this resource. The question is:

"Write a program that takes an integer as an input and prints the sum of all the digits in the input number."I've tried this code, but it doesn't seem to be working:int number, sum = 0;court << "Enter an integer: ";
in >> number;

while (number != 0)
{
sum += (number % 10);
number /= 10;
}

court << "The sum of the digits is: " << sum << endl;

Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
