Seapine Software Quality-Ready Assessment results
Lack of Test Case Management Threatens Software Quality
Seapine Software Quality-Ready Assessment results indicate that many QA
departments use inefficient methods to track test cases
Mason, OH--June 26, 2008--According to results from the Seapine Software
Quality-Ready Assessment (QRA), only 29 percent of organizations use a test
case management application. The survey also found that:
* 18 percent perform ad hoc testing
* 16 percent document tests as they go
* 21 percent document tests in advance but use a paper-based system
This means 55 percent of organizations use inefficient methods to manage
their testing.
"The results suggest that the use of test case management solutions is
still in its infancy," says Richard Riccetti, president and CEO, Seapine
Software. "Developers have used change and defect management applications
for years to improve quality and efficiency, but QA departments are just
now moving to electronic tracking systems."
