Practical Test Pilot

Walk into go/no-go with evidence, not opinions.

Testing is where projects slip, and where status reports get vague. "We're about 80% through" is not something a steering committee can sign off.

This suite gives you a controlled SIT and UAT process and an Excel tracker that shows exactly what has passed, what is blocked, which defects are open, and when testing will really finish.

Who it's for

•    Test managers and test leads

•    Project managers running SIT and UAT without an expensive test tool

•    Business leads coordinating UAT testers

•    PMOs that want testing governed the same way on every project

What it does for you

•    Set up in about 30 minutes. Enter phase dates, testers and public holidays once, and the tracker works out the rest.

•    Every test case in one place. Track scenarios, test cases, testers and results, with a daily log of what was executed.

•    Know the real finish date. The dashboard compares tests needed per day with tests actually completed and forecasts the end date and any slip. The burndown updates itself.

•    Defects under control. Log, prioritise and track defects to closure, with open P1 defects visible at a glance.

•    Daily stand-ups made easy. A daily report and a RAID log for testing risks and issues.

•    A clean exit. Exit criteria and sign-off recorded in the tracker, ready for the go/no-go decision.

•    The process, not just the tool. A ready-made test management process and PowerPoint deck to brief sponsors, testers and business users.

What's included

•    SIT & UAT test tracker (Excel, .xlsx)
