Testing, a barrier to success!
• Relying on others for testing scripts.• All new to E1• Tested on memory of process, not from scripts• Poor documentation of results• Not knowing what testing or expected results
#JDEINFOCUS
We need a better testing plan!
So the process began…
to develop a process of
documentation and check lists
#JDEINFOCUS
Our “testing improvement” process
• Create checklists• Organize and structure our documentation and lists• Standardize how we:
• Plan and prepare the testing we do on each project• Document our testing and record our test results

Our challenge
