Mobile Application Dev and QA Testing with Simulated EnvironmentsTechWell
Do you know that 63 percent of your users would be less likely to do business with you if they experience problems with your mobile application? To ensure top-notch user experience, you need to conduct thorough testing on unpredictable network conditions—even if testing components are unavailable. Wayne Ariola describes an innovative strategy of using simulated test environments to bring the behavior of system dependencies and network conditions under your direct control. Simulated test environments draw on two key technologies for anywhere access to a complete and realistic test environment. FIrst, service virtualization enables teams to emulate the behavior of myriad dependencies involved in end-to-end mobile application transactions. Second, mobile network virtualization adds the ability to emulate the performance of network bandwidth, latency, and jitter. With these tools in place, developers and testers can ensure that applications are validated extensively and accurately so your customers will experience great performance.

Using Doors® And Taug2® To Support A Simplifiedcbb010
In order to become a market leader, it is imperative that all stakeholders (customers, financial sponsors, developers and testers) be aware of the customer’s needs as captured in the requirements of the products and/or services that are to be produced. This is especially so within both large and small globally distributed companies since the product development organizations often are separated by geography, time and communications. An efficient way to eliminate these potential issues is to develop a common and intuitive requirements management process, which can be deployed across the product development lifecycle. The object of developing a Common Simplified Requirements Management Process is to improve customer satisfaction, eliminate escaping defects and reduce the cost of the development lifecycle. This paper describes the problems of using localised procedures and how these problems can be eliminated by implementing a common requirements management process that is intuitive, scalable and deployed across the System Development Lifecycle. This process has been supported by the industry leading DOORS tool and more recently by the TauG2 tool. An auxiliary benefit of deploying this process is that the process was developed in compliance with standardized methods of documenting and tracing requirements as expected by TL9000 and CMM/CMMI. The net benefits of this simplified requirements process include: increased customer satisfaction due to systems being developed in accordance with the customer’s needs as captured in the requirements, compliance with industry acknowledged process standards and improved cost of quality by eliminating duplication of process maintenance since a common process has been deployed across the development organization.
Shaun Bradshaw presented on test management strategies for large-scale projects. He defined a large-scale project as having 100+ resources, a duration of 2+ years, integrating 6 or more major components, costing $70 million or more, and involving multiple external vendors. Bradshaw recommended developing an overall QA approach aligned with the project methodology, determining data and environment needs early, and establishing a team structure with key roles like a test architect and manager. Effective communication across the project was emphasized as the biggest challenge. Integration testing requires mapping critical data flows and a "bottom-up" approach. Performance testing of individual components and the full integrated solution is also important.
Taming the Beast: Test/QA on Large-scale ProjectsTechWell
Large, complex projects—those with more than 100 people and lasting more that a year—require special considerations for developing, communicating, and managing the overall QA strategy and test plans. Shaun Bradshaw provides insights he gained from a $70 million financial software implementation project comprised of multiple components including a general ledger, business intelligence platform, data warehouse, and data integration hub. Tasked with managing the entire test effort as part of the third-party validation team, Shaun acted as QA architect to create the test strategy and plan for the project. He shares the challenges he and his team had to overcome to help deliver a smooth implementation and installation. Shaun discusses his experiences aligning the QA strategy with the culture of the organization and ensuring key test and QA roles were filled with the right people. Take back new ideas and approaches you can use to tame the testing beast in your large project.

Environmental Requirements
• System
– Identify spaces within which the system will have to function
– Select standards covering those spaces
– For each standard, select parameters that apply
– Tailor the range of selected parameters
• End item
– Build three dimensional model of end items, physical
processes, and process environments
– Extract item environments
• Component
– Zone end item into spaces of common environmental
characteristics
– Map components to zones
– Components inherit zone environmental requirements

Design Defined
• To prepare the preliminary sketch or the plan for
a work to be executed
• To plan or fashion artistically or skillfully
• To intend for a specific purpose
• To form or conceive in the mind
VERSION 12.0 4012A0-1- 32 c JOG System Engineering
Making Sense of Synthesis
• The combining of the constituent elements of
separate material or abstract entities into a single
or unified entity (opposite of analysis).
• Because we find it necessary to partition or
decompose wholes into parts, to set the problem
size to human proportions, we are obligated to
synthesize those parts into the whole.
• The design engineer must synthesize the many
requirements into a solution that satisfies all of
those requirements.

VERSION 12.0 4012A0-1- 33 c JOG System Engineering
Optimization
• Optimize
– To make as effective, perfect, or useful as possible
– To make the best of
• Optimum
– The most favorable point, degree, or amount of
something for obtaining a given result
– The best result obtainable under specific conditions
– The most favorable or desirable
VERSION 12.0 4012A0-1- 34 c JOG System Engineering
The act or process of forming, coordinating, or
blending two or more elements into a functioning
or unified whole.
Perhaps it can best be described in terms of its
parts.

Verification Purpose
and Mechanism
• Irrefutably establish that the product design
satisfies the previously approved requirements
• Develop evidence of compliance in test and
analysis reports
• Verification is the management discipline of
coordinating the acquisition, communication, and
review of that evidence
• Proof of product representations for future use
