Session 8 Module 7 Achieve Acceptable Mission

Introduction

Module 7 is in Test Workflow detail diagram to breakdown and analysis the Achieve Acceptable Mission workflow detail. To review here are six underlining test workflow detail:

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 Module 7
    - Improve Test Assets.

In Modules 5 and 6 we covered the Test Workflow detail Test and Evaluate. In Module 5 we looked at techniques for Implementing Tests and in Module 6 , we looked at Analyzing Failures and writing Change Requests.

In Module 7 we'll look at monitoring that the Mission or Project is being achieved and reporting the status of the test effort.

Achieve Acceptable Mission focuses on the following three activities and one artifacts:

Objectives

The Objective of Module 7 Workflow Detail is to deliver a useful evaluation result to the stakeholders of the test effort. This means that useful evaluation result is assessed in terms of the Evaluation Mission. In most cases that will mean focusing the Tester efforts on helping the project team achieve the Iteration Plan objectives that apply to the current test cycle. For each test cycle, this work is focused mainly on:

Actively prioritizing the minimal set of necessary tests that must be conducted to achieve the Evaluation Mission
Advocating the resolution of important issues that have a significant negative impact on the Evaluation Mission
Advocating appropriate quality
Identifying regressions in quality introduced between test cycles
Where appropriate, revising the Evaluation Mission in light of the evaluation findings so as to provide useful information to the project team
