2. Alan is Here To Test
• New project, new business, new team, new challenges
• Planning, Design, and Tools Selection
• Area selection for Manual and Automated testing
• Starts Testing, completes a few rounds

3. Alan vs Defect Clustering and Pesticide Paradox
• Small number of modules contains most of the bugs detected or show
the most operational failures
• Same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually the same set
of test cases will no longer find any new defects

4. Alan Goes User Acceptance Testing
• Engage Business users or other testers to application testing
• Business walk in testing shoes and vice versa
• Real life Conditions and scenarios (Nothing beats them!)

5. Alan expected objectives
• Reducing the costs of development
• Preventing defects in Production
• Providing information for decision-making
• Gaining confidence about the level of quality
• But not only…

6. • Identify and defend the value of the product
• Rapport Building with all stakeholders
• Reputation and customer retention
