Summary: Test Execution (Chapter 1.6) Test execution is the phase where planned tests are carried out, comparing actual results with expected ones and identifying defects. It involves the following tasks: Key Tasks (Performed by Tester or Test Analyst): Executing manual tests, including exploratory testing. Executing automated tests. Comparing actual results to expected results. Analyzing anomalies to determine their likely causes. Reporting defects based on observed failures. Logging test execution results. Updating traceability between the test basis and testware. Executing regression tests to ensure existing functionality remains intact. Additional Responsibilities of a Test Analyst: Recognizing defect clusters: Identifying areas where defects are concentrated to target more testing. Suggesting exploratory testing sessions: Based on findings from previous tests. Identifying new risks: Gaining new risk insights from the test execution results. Proposing improvements: Making recommendations for refining test procedures and other test implementation work products. Focus on Efficiency and Quality: Test Analysts are responsible for organizing test suites efficiently, prioritizing based on risk levels and resource availability. Coordination with development teams is crucial, especially in iterative/incremental models, to ensure code is delivered in a testable order. Test execution ensures that the system behaves as expected, and it helps detect issues early, informing risk management and guiding future test sessions and process improvements.
