The Art to Create a Test Strategy – For Testers, Architects, and Beyond

In our complex, fast moving software engineering world a sustaining test strategy that enables effective and efficient testing is critical for success. But in many projects a test strategy is still more a nebulous idea or a vague concept that gets overlooked.
This interactive tutorial explains and provides insights on

• what a test strategy is all about (and what not)
• why a test strategy is not optional
• building blocks and guidelines to create and quickly evaluate a test strategy

and shares real-world practices, examples, and experiences.

Target Audience: Test Architects, Test Managers, Test Engineers, Architects, Product Owners, Project Leads, Managers
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge about testing and quality engineering
Level: Practicing

Extended Abstract
In our complex, fast moving software engineering world a sustaining test strategy that enables effective and efficient testing is critical for success. But in many projects a test strategy is still more a nebulous idea or a vague concept that gets overlooked.
This interactive tutorial explains and provides insights on

• what a test strategy is all about (and what not)
• why a test strategy is not optional
• important principles and preconditions
• involved stakeholders and their required active contributions
• building blocks and guidelines to create and quickly evaluate a test strategy
• how to investigate the capability and sustainability of a test strategy

and shares real-world practices, examples, and experiences.
After this tutorial participants will not only understand the big picture of test strategies and realize their own contribution but they will be able to use the concepts and practices in their projects to improve effectiveness and efficiency in testing.
