Develop a Testing Plan

About this Worksession

Most full-time software developers like nothing better than sitting down and writing code. Many can sit down early in the morning and write code for hours at a time. Of course, along with coding comes the testing, which many developers don't enjoy as much. But it is during the testing process that you find out what kind of program or application you have. 

The objective of the Testing Plan Worksession is to ensure that the technology solution meets your organization’s business requirements. For instance, if a specific business transaction follows a logical path from A -> B -> C -> D, we want our testing to prove that this, in fact, happens. Second, we want to test for errors and defects. These may be programming errors or errors that were introduced earlier in the development lifecycle. In other words, we need to prove that your solution is correct, while at the same time proving that there are no errors or defects.
