The book provides concrete tips for the successful organization of software tests. Because: Planning and conception in advance are essential for successful test projects. Setting the right course prevents problems from the outset and highlights the need for action in software testing. In addition to theoretical basics, this work shows the implementation in practice and deals with typical problems. Frank Witte explains the decisive aspects to be considered in the test concept in order to optimally support and accompany the test process.

The test concept determines the delimitation, procedure, and means used and contains a schedule of the test activities. The test concept identifies the test objects, the features to be tested, and the test tasks. It forms the basis on which the test organization and the test infrastructure are provided, and the tests are performed. In earlier times, testing activities usually started at a later stage of the project. This meant that the test department was faced with scheduling conflicts right from the start. Meanwhile, it has become widely accepted that the test manager should be involved in the project from the very beginning, that is, they should accompany the development process from the very beginning, and that the planning phase should therefore take place at the start of the project. Consequently, the test concept should also be created before or while the system development is in progress and the project phase of defining suitable test cases and the test execution phase have not yet begun. The same applies to test planning as to the overall planning of projects: for efficient and effective project planning, a “rolling” approach is recommended.
