Analyzing Test Progress - Homework Assignment What factors need to be taken into consideration when assessing the progress of testing and validation activities? There are many things to take into account. For the following 3 example projects below. A) Provide an analysis for each of 3 provided Test Projects & associated S-Curves. What does the curve indicate in regard to test progress? B) Recommend 3 steps to improve the next test iteration of that product and its efficiency. Base your evidence on interpretations of the test plan (staffing, risk, entry and exit criteria) and the S-Curves provided Test Project A This system venification test (SVT) project is proposed to complete within 10 weeks. The product enhancements are simplistic changes to keywords on application commands. This product has just been through a unit test and function verification test (FVD) performed by the development organization. The function verification testing has found a small number of defects related to command syntax. Please refer to Figure 1 below for the S-curve associated with this project.
