This
article is part of a series that reviews different methods for
getting "a view from the outside" of your system - and
managing those activities - by decreasing your overall testing
time. The authors provide useful guidance in decreasing testing
time by improving process through automation, and removing testing
dependencies by decreasing shared resources, removing obsolete
tests, running test efficiently, and by removing test to test
dependencies. |

Sometimes being in the
middle of a problem can make you feel like you're watching a
tennis match. There seem to be endless volleys between product
management and engineering and engagement personnel to clarify

back-and-forth. |
