Auditing the software test process
It is crucial for businesses to audit their software test processes. This enables management to understand / evaluate if they are being adhered to. In cases where process deviation was accepted, it helps one to evaluate how the risks and impacts were measured and communicated. An audit will uncover what triggers major problems and early warning indicators are set in place to reduce risk.
