Unit Testing Challenges (from discussions)

Moqs and fakes working for the tests (automated testing)

Javascript is a challenge to unit test (all client side) –multiple browsers and things are difficult to control

Scalability testing (Possible performance issues)

Standardisation between developers – is everyone writing the same way? Practicing standards

Testing data migration is difficult at this stage

Commenting code/tracing and knowledge transfer (can cover all of them)

explore engage elevate

Integration, System & Regression Test Challenges (from discussions)

Developers understanding specification and not working straight away

Testing security roles

Configuration entities – testing right setup

Firewalls/infrastructure challenges (environmental readiness) – Dev -> QA -> UAT

Mobile and different applications

explore engage elevate

User Acceptance Test Challenges (from discussions)

Time Commitments and the cascade in this (time management) – scheduling in this time

Control of changes and coherent release tracking – bug tracking which things have been fixed and which things haven’t

The above point if is particular for retesting also

Positive test evidence

Data and how this is relevant to the user

Differences between test and live and mismatches

Good representation of tests

The difference between training and testing (chicken and egg) and avoiding bias

Representative users to do representative things/roles – replicating a normal and a non-typical day

Feedback being sent back e.g. what did it do to not work, what are the replication steps.
