Testing Exp with Dave

one question
"• Ability to manage multiple tasks in the order of importance and relevance to the business"
if someone ask me how to manager ultiple task
what i should reply
Dave says:
very important. "Prioritisation"
GRACE says:
according to what
then which one is high prirotiy?
Dave says:
it's more test manager level that needs to do that. You always have competing interests. The important thing is that you keep people informed of priorities
GRACE says:
ok
Dave says:
but generally, at Freshtel for example, critical production issues were always highest priority, especially billing related issues
GRACE says:
yep
Dave says:
Then for projects, there was constant discussion about which were the highest priority
These depend on the companies strategic direction
so for ftel, mobile projects were high. But so were TEsco projects
GRACE says:
ok
excellent answer! thanks Dave
Dave says:
what made it hard was the Sales guys always wanting stuff done at the last minute
coz they never planned anything or understood that small changes are not always easy
GRACE says:
Another question, for system test, what should be focus on ? different to UAT or regression?
find most of the bug ?
Dave says:
when they ask about UAT, you need to stress that you're testing from the end users perspective. So if there's any business requirements doco, you go back over that & understand what they want the system to achieve
system testing is from your perspective, knowing what it should do functionally but also how it's put together technically
never say "testing is about finding bugs"
that's a very simplistic view of it
