SUMMARY:Testing without Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever tested an application without documented requirements? If yes\, then you are not alone! Honestly\, nothing is more exciting than to see well documented functional/system requirement documents\, with elaborate use cases and mock-up screens. However\, as we move towards more agile delivery and rapid software development cycles\, documentation is an area that often takes a backseat. Minimum or no documentation has a direct impact on formulation of test strategy and makes test planning particularly hard. While testing such projects\, test leader and/or testers need to think outside the box and adopt non-traditional test planning approaches.\nCome join us in this session to discuss some strategies to use if you or your team find yourself in a such a situation. \nWe are excited to have Neha Batta\, Senior Manager at Cymax Group present on ‘Testing without Requirements’. \nAgenda:\n6:00 pm – Join the webinar\n6:00-7:00 pm – Presentation and Q&A \nRegister here!\nMeeting link will be posted on the day of the webinar.
