Which usually involves our 4-5 core team members, bribed with free food, manually testing core functionality and features in a three day testing sprint (over the past three iterations it's been a Thursday, Friday and Saturday). <br /><br />The reason we manually test in this manner is due to the nature of our software: most results require interaction, or at least need to be observed. Because of this, reviewing the results from automated testing would take just about the same amount of time. For this reason I've started calling it "Hisenburg software."<br /><br />We start with a priority list and a complete list of tests to perform, and dive right in. Having everyone in the same room, collaborating, troubleshooting and performing multi-user tests makes any regression testing go much faster.<br /><br />It also helps that we have joined the work study program at a local college (with a good engineering school) and so we have two very capable part-time work-study members on the team. Teaching while performing regression testing allows us to see what a user might see, and brings usability to the surface when it otherwise would not.Elliot Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142881595001545349noreply@blogger.com
