Overview

Test execution is the step that many consider true testing. This phase starts when you have a working solution and finishes when the goals defined in your test strategy have been achieved. This process should deliver coherent, consistent test data and, by tracking the results, allow for analyzing and improving the testing process itself. Knowing what measures to capture and how to assess them is just as critical to the long-term success of your testing process as catching the errors that exist in even the best developed information technology solution.
