Hello,
I want to improve integration tests methods where I work and I would like to know how this process happens in other places.
Things like:
- When test plans writing begin
- Proportion between testers, developers and stuff (entire applications or modifications) to be tested
- What kind of methods are used for integration testing.
Actually, I test webapps and test plans are managed with Test Link. Bugs found are reported on Bugzilla. I am trying to automate tests with Selenium RC, but I takes some time to write the plans and write the code to execute on Selenium. And time is something that I dont have, because I am testing 3 or more aplications.
Most of my problems are caused by differences between test environment and production environment. But tests are taking too long to begin. If someone finishes a modification today, it will take about 3 weeks for me to begin tests. And the test process queue keeps growing.
It would be really good if anyone suggests something that would improve testing process (like more people testing,etc). But mostly, I would like to hear how testing process works on other places.
Thanks.
