Although all the
projects can benefit from the testing process, but some
projects may not require assignment of dedicated test
staff to work properly. Now the question arises as to which projects do not require independent test staff. The answer is dependent on the size, context and concept of the project, along with the risks posed to the project, the software development paradigm used to develop the project, skill and experience level of the developers as well as certain other aspects. Sometimes, an IT firm may be very small or relatively new to step into the testing for systems even if there is a requirement to test the project. In such kind of situations, the testing staff is either specially hired, or the testing process is outsourced to another company or adjust the project management and development approach. It is a common practice to ignore testing by some managers which involve them to ask the programmers to perform post developmental functional testing of the system. Sometimes, for large projects or projects with highly complex requirements, a testing staff is very important. Any business requires some one to evaluate its proper functioning, and this evaluation results in the organization being more successful in large, complex, or difficult tasks. Now, this allows for deeper & stronger skills as well as the involvement of more than one varying perspectives. The Technical people who can be very effective in identifying tasks from both of those perspectives are rare which is why, sooner or later, organizations bring in test specialists. |
