Less Stress. More Quality.

Yours truly was recently interviewed about test case management for the Sticky ToolLook eNewsletter, published by the folks at StickyMinds.com and Better Software magazine.

In this month’s Sticky ToolLook, Paula Rome answers some questions about the advantages of test case management software, the importance of committing to test case documentation, and how a good test management tool can help you to “Go where the testing leads you.”

I was asked the following three questions:

• What are some of the advantages that software made specifically for test case management brings to the table?
• What are some situations in which an organization might want to integrate a test management tool?
• What can a test case management tool do for a tester in terms of managing the test results?

You can read my answers here.

Let me know how you would have answered the questions!
