Defects makes Defects! Mahesh Sariputi, Quality Specialist Ramya HV , Senior Quality Specialist SAP Labs India

Abstract An out of Box approach to leverage new defects identified during early development phase to unearth maximum Scenario regression issues during SAT (system acceptance testing) phase resulting in a significant reduction of Customer defect leakage. Test Scenarios are woven around Defects identified earlier in the Dev Phase (Dev Close) thereby plugging most regression leakages This has proven to be an effective means to unearth crucial defects which otherwise would go unnoticed when traditional test techniques are applied.

A flexible approach to unearth defects Study the defects found during early development phase Build the scenario’s around the defects prone areas 2 approaches to implement this test technique

A flexible approach to unearth defects Phase During Takt During SAT Analyse Phase Analyse messages raised in n-1 Takt, in a fixed time Analyse messages raised during SAT, in a fixed time Scenario Definition Phase Build Scenarios for Takt-n based on Analysis Build Scenarios for SAT based on Analysis Testing Phase Test the Scenario in Takt-n Test in parallel the Scenario in SAT

Benefits Ensures high levels of repeatability, predictability and test coverage End-to-End testing Reusable set of artefacts and test design is created before the actual test phase and even improves functional knowledge of the testers Understanding of core business processes and enhancing the core regression library Enabling complete traceability from requirements to test scenarios and defects during various phases of project

Conclusion Maximize the value of good testing practice in Agile environment with rapid and efficient delivery of high quality software through frequent iterations of this approach It helps tester to open to areas/aspects which they probably never thought about This concept can be applied in any software application where the development organization working on sprints If you want to be successful, you should Try, Learn and Apply the new skills required for the deliverables
