Gateway to UAT with no blockers/high severity defects
Predominantly, functional specifications/user stories are the most significant source/input documents for writing test cases. While this is necessary to ensure test coverage, it is not sufficient to trap defects early on. What are other techniques to write power-packed test cases? How can we work with test data to detect corner cases? How is Agile testing tuned to this? This session is about empowering the testing teams to work in tandem with development teams, thus making a positive impact on software quality from the beginning of the SDLC.
