Set the testing goals
Writing effective test goals helps in gaining meaningful insights. Here are some tips for crafting good test goals:
- Specificity: Define precise aspects of the product you're testing, like "assessing the load time of the web app on different devices."
- User-centricity: Align goals with real user needs. For a fitness app, focus on how it helps users in tracking workouts.
- Measurability: Ensure goals have quantifiable outcomes, like "determine the percentage of users who can complete a task without assistance."
- Stage relevance: Match goals with your development stage. Early stages might test concept appeal while later stages test specific functionalities.
- Diverse perspectives: Incorporate a range of user views, such as testing an educational app with both students and teachers.
- Real-world scenarios: Reflect actual use cases in your goals. For example, if it's a travel booking app, simulate scenarios like last-minute bookings or itinerary changes.
- Feasibility: Set achievable goals within your project's timeline and resources.
