A hands-on guide to testing techniques that deliver reliable software and systems Testing even a simple system can quickly turn into a potentially infinite task. Faced with tight costs and schedules, testers need to have a toolkit of practical techniques combined with hands-on experience and the right strategies in order to complete a successful project. World-renowned testing expert Rex Black provides you with the proven methods and concepts that test professionals must know. He presents you with the fundamental techniques for testing and clearly shows you how to select and apply successful strategies to test a system with budget and time constraints. Black begins by discussing the goals and tactics of effective and efficient testing. Next, he lays the foundation of his technique for risk-based testing, explaining how to analyze, prioritize, and document risks to the quality of the system using both informal and formal techniques. He then clearly describes how to design, develop, and, ultimately, document various kinds of tests. Because this is a hands-on activity, Black includes realistic, life-sized exercises that illustrate all of the major test techniques with detailed solutions.
Testing SAP R/3
A Manager’s Step-by-Step Guide
Автор: JOSE FAJARDO, ELFRIEDE DUSTIN
Год издания:
Planning, preparing, scheduling, and executing SAP test cycles is a
time-consuming and resource-intensive endeavor that requires participation
from several project members. SAP projects are prone to
have informal, ad-hoc test approaches that decrease the stability of
the production environment and tend to increase the cost of ownership
for the SAP system. Many SAP project and test managers cannot
provide answers for questions such as how many requirements have
testing coverage, the exit criteria for a test phase, the audit trails for
test results, the dependencies and correct sequence for executing test
cases, or the cost figures for a previously executed test cycle. Fortunately,
through established testing techniques predicated on guidelines
and methodologies (i.e., ASAP SAP Roadmap methodology,
IBM’s Ascendant methodology, and Deloitte’s ThreadManager
methodology), enforcement of standards, application of objective
testing criteria, test case automation, implementation of a requirements
traceability matrix (RTM), and independent testing and formation
of centralized test teams, many of the testing risks that plague
existing or initial SAP programs can be significantly reduced.
This book is written for SAP managers, SAP consultants, SAP
testers, and team leaders who are tasked with supporting, managing,
implementing, and monitoring testing activities related to test planning,
test design, test automation, test tool management, execution of
test cases, reporting of test results, test outsourcing, planning a budget
for testing activities, enforcing testing standards, and resolving
defects.

Ease the transition to the new COSO framework with practical strategy Internal Control Audit and Compliance provides complete guidance toward the latest framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). With clear explanations and expert advice on implementation, this helpful guide shows auditors and accounting managers how to document and test internal controls over financial reporting with detailed sections covering each element of the framework. Each section highlights the latest changes and new points of emphasis, with explicit definitions of internal controls and how they should be assessed and tested. Coverage includes easing the transition from older guidelines, with step-by-step instructions for implementing the new changes. The new framework identifies seventeen new principles, each of which are explained in detail to help readers understand the new and emerging best practices for efficiency and effectiveness. The revised COSO framework includes financial and non-financial reporting, as well as both internal and external reporting objectives. It is essential for auditors and controllers to understand the new framework and how to document and test under the new guidance. This book clarifies complex codification and provides an effective strategy for a more rapid transition. Understand the new COSO internal controls framework Document and test internal controls to strengthen business processes Learn how requirements differ for public and non-public companies Incorporate improved risk management into the new framework The new framework is COSO's first complete revision since the release of the initial framework in 1992. Companies have become accustomed to the old guidelines, and the necessary procedures have become routine – making the transition to align with the new framework akin to steering an ocean liner. Internal Control Audit and Compliance helps ease that transition, with clear explanation and practical implementation guidance.
