Session 7 Module 6 Analyze Test Failures

Introduction

Module 6 is still in Test Workflow detail diagram to breakdown and analysis the Test and Evaluate details.  To review here are six underlining test workflow detail:

  1. Define Evaluation Mission;  Module 4
    1. Verify Test Approach;
    2. Validate Build Stability;
      1. Test and Evaluate;  Module 5 Test and Module 6 Evaluate
        • Improve Test Assets.
      2. Achieve Acceptable Mission;
        • Improve Test Assets.

Objectives

In Module 6 the focus is on activity Analyze Test Failure. The primary output of this activity is the Artifact Change Request. Making your change requests effective is one of the most important skills that you as a tester can develop. The purpose of the Analyze Test Failure activity is:

  1. To investigate the Test Log details and analyze the failures that occurred during test implementation and execution
  2. To correct failures that result from errors in testing procedure
  3. To record important findings appropriately

Instructional Notes

The Module 6 give a set of pdf slides with Presenter notes tabs at the top of each page. You must click on this tab to read the Presenter notes.

Module 6  Analyze Test Failures

The Module 6 Student Manual is a pdf of the slides with the Presenter notes on the same page. These pages might be easier to follow, but are not as colorful.

  1. Implement Test   Activity
  2. Analyze Test Failures  Activity
  3. Change Requests Artifact

The primary output of this activity is the Artifact Change Request. Making your change requests effective is one of the most important skills that you as a tester can develop.Changes to development artifacts are proposed through Change Requests (CRs). Change Requests are used to document and track defects, enhancement requests and any other type of request for a change to the product. The benefit of CRs is that they provide a record of decisions and, due to their assessment process, ensure that change impacts are understood across the project. Read and Understand the change request artifact for it is used throughout the entire project's iterative life cycle.
