The significance of planning: Making sure that both business and functional users are engaged on a standardized platform right from the start is the key to ensuring that actual end-to-end business processes are reflected by tests. Collaborative technologies can be offered through the right solution in order to coordinate among globally-dispersed, cross-functional users. This will in turn prove to be intuitive enough to make sure that business users are in line with the process. The value of defining a scope: When proper inputs are provided from business users, the scoping activity can be improvised. All the pertinent information received from the users should be entered in the spreadsheets, which, at times can be a tedious process to perform. Users can be guided through this process by applying the right test management solution in an intuitive manner. Instead of rescoping each project from scratch, it is better to repurpose test plans, so that users can initiate the process immediately. Test execution should be scaled up: The screenshots of test results being copied and pasted into Excel or Word is a cumbersome process and can lead to human-made errors. The UAT process can be optimized with defect management, workflow and automated documentation. By using the right tool, exploratory testing can be performed and tests can be documented using a recorder for playback as and when required. The process is accelerated and thus the productivity of development and testing teams is further improved. Monitoring and evaluating: When a business process-centric approach is initiated, processes can be tracked easily throughout the test lifecycle. Instead of depending on unreliable and unmanageable excel sheets (if the team has specific expertise in excel management, then it matters), real-time dashboards can be leveraged, so that multiple test cycles can be tracked at both the business process and test level. Defects can be properly monitored and overdue tests can be managed with built-in notifications so that tests can be reassigned proactively and remainders can be sent to the relevant stakeholders. The strategy for execution: There are so many dependencies, which an end-user might be unaware of. Bottlenecks can be relieved even in a multi-tester, multi-step business process by embedding workflow automation features. Evaluating the testing process: Users that are globally dispersed may have issues pertaining to communication and time-zone that can further make their testing experience a little too difficult. In order to tackle these problems strategically, the right defect management tool can be implemented, through which the amount of time wasted on ineffective communication between development and testing teams is reduced. Through this tool, the developers will get automatic alerts about the errors detected in the testing process. When a defect is detected, all the other tests affected by it will be automatically identified and testers will be alerted against proceeding any further, till the defect is resolved.
