<P> Many organizations spend thousands of hours testing software in their products. Typical test suites often
number into the thousands of tests, many of which are manual tests requiring hundreds of hours to both
develop and execute. In many cases, test suites evolve over time and often include dozens or even hundreds
of �non-productive� tests. These tests often are looking for problems in areas where there aren�t problems.
Even worse, there can be several areas that have inadequate or non-existent test coverage.
<p>
As an organization, how can you assess and improve the effectiveness of your test suite?
<p>
Understand that testing provides:
<p>
<ul type=bullet>
<li>Information about potential defects in the product<p>
<li>Confidence that requirements are being met, and that changes to software haven�t introduced new defects <p>
</ul>
<p>
Testing requires a significant investment in both time and effort. The return on this investment is
measured in terms of information and confidence gained compared to the effort required. As a result of
increasing the effectiveness of testing, critical information will be identified sooner and a higher
confidence level will be achieved.
