1. Basic aspects of software testing
Lifecycles – sequential, iterative, spiral
2. Testing processes
Drill Sergeant: Gump! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?
Forrest Gump: You told me to, Drill Sergeant?
Drill Sergeant: [Expressing surprise and looking at a stopwatch.] This is a new company record! If it wouldn't be such a waste of a fine enlisted man, I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general some day, Gump. Now disassemble your weapon and continue!
— Forrest Gump displays an innate ability to follow a process accurately and quickly in a scene the movie Forrest Gump.
2. Testing processes
process activities: Planning and control Analysis and design Implementation and execution Evaluating exit criteria and reporting Test closure activities
3. Test management
Risk-Based Testing
product risk: A risk directly related to the test object.
project risk: A risk related to management and control of the (test) project, e.g., lack of staffing, strict deadlines, changing requirements, etc.
risk: A factor that could result in future negative consequences; usually expressed as impact and likelihood.
3. Test management
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
A systematic approach to risk identification and analysis in which you identify possible modes of failure and attempt to prevent their occurrence. - most formal technique for risk-based testing - consider it for high-risk or conservative projects
3. Test management
Test Management Documentation Test Estimation Scheduling Test Planning
Dwight Eisenhower, United States general and president, once said,"In preparing for battle I have always found

8. Standards and test process improvement
test process improvement models:
Critical Testing Processes (CTP) Systematic Test and Evaluation Process (STEP) Test Maturity Model (TMM) Test Process Improvement (TPI)
(TMM):
A five-level staged framework for test process improvement, related to the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), that describes the key elements of an effective test process.
(TPI):
A continuous framework for test process improvement that describes the key elements of an effective test process, especially targeted at system testing and acceptance testing.
9. Test tools and automation
"What is the business case for automation?"
—A question posed by the author to a team of consultants who had been working for a client for four years without making significant progress in the percentage of test cases automated. They were unable to answer the question in any meaningful fashion.
Test Management Tools, Test Execution Tools, Keyword Driven Automated Test Execution …
