From Good to Great: Combining Session- and Thread-Based Test Management
With the increased demand of short iterations, less time for formal testing, and increasingly complex applications, your daily testing habits must change. Session-based test management (SBTM) starts with Exploratory Testing and adds some structure to make it more focused, accountable, and reportable. Thread-based test management (TBTM) organizes Exploratory Testing around threads of activity, rather than test sessions or test artifacts. Michael Albrecht has combined SBTM and TBTM into xBTM™ to take full advantage of both. In xBTM you use mind maps for test planning, models as test design, and your daily activities as management reports. Michael shares his experience on how to plan, design, execute, and report your testing using xBTM. Learn how to create a simple test design model and use the free tool SBTExecute to generate mind maps, the heart of xBTM.
