1 Choose the right testing methods

Depending on the type and scope of your software project, you may need to use different testing methods to ensure its functionality, usability, security, and performance. Such methods include unit testing, which verifies the logic and behavior of individual components or units of code; integration testing, which tests how different components interact with each other and with external systems or interfaces; system testing, which tests the whole software system as a single entity; user acceptance testing, which determines the software's suitability for the intended purpose and audience; and regression testing, which checks for new bugs or errors after changes or updates. It is important to select the testing methods that best suit your project goals, resources, and timeline and prioritize the most critical and risky features or functions. Additionally, combining or automating some testing methods can save time and effort.

In my fast-paced software testing experience, I've found success in prioritizing critical testing areas, applying agile principles for quick adaptations, and leveraging automation tools. Implementing testing best practices like TDD and BDD is vital for early issue detection. Continuous learning and process improvement are key. Collaborative development and close communication are essential for preventing misunderstandings and resolving issues promptly. Additionally, prioritizing critical areas, parallel testing, efficient test data management, risk-based testing, and real-time monitoring all contribute to efficient testing. Adaptability, and a focus on high-impact tasks are our cornerstones in this dynamic environment.

2 Apply agile testing principles

Agile testing is an approach that aligns testing activities with agile software development principles, such as iterative, incremental, and collaborative delivery, customer feedback, and continuous improvement. With the goal of delivering working software that meets the customer's needs and expectations as quickly and frequently as possible, agile testing encourages testers to start early and test often in each iteration or sprint. Testing should occur at multiple levels of granularity, from individual units to the whole system, and from functional to non-functional aspects, with the customer in mind. It’s also important for testers to collaborate with other team members, stakeholders, and customers to share knowledge and feedback. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that the software meets quality standards and delivers value and satisfaction.

3 Use testing tools and frameworks

Testing tools and frameworks can help automate, simplify, and standardize your testing processes, while also improving efficiency and effectiveness. There are many available for different purposes, such as test management (e.g. TestRail, Zephyr, qTest), test automation (e.g. Selenium, TestComplete, Katalon Studio), test performance (e.g. JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling), and test security (e.g. Nmap, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite). It's important to choose the ones that match your testing needs, skills, and budget, and that integrate with your development and delivery tools and platforms.

According to me testing tools and frameworks are essential companions in fast-paced environments, where speed and quality are of the essence. Their ability to automate, standardize, and accelerate testing processes is invaluable. However, selecting the right tools and integrating them effectively with existing development and delivery pipelines is key to reaping the full benefits. The choice of tools should align with project needs, team expertise, budget, and the evolving demands of a rapidly changing software landscape. By making informed tool selections and embracing automation, organizations can maintain a balance between speed and quality in their software development endeavors.

Look for what has more information available, what is more user friendly and what assists you in automating as much as possible, this is essential when testing in a fast paced environment. Keep it simple

4 Implement testing best practices

Testing best practices are the guidelines or standards that help you achieve consistent and reliable testing results, while avoiding common testing pitfalls or mistakes. To do this, you should define clear and realistic testing objectives and scope; design and document your test cases and scenarios; follow the testing pyramid; review and refactor your test code and data; and track and report your testing progress and results. Knowing what to test, why to test it, how to measure its success or failure, creating detailed structured test cases, allocating more time for lower-level testing, checking and improving test code quality, and using metrics to monitor testing status are all essential steps in achieving successful testing.

Have a well defined process and documented practices to apply. Establish coverage metrics, milestones and work towards that. Keep it realistic.

5 Learn and improve continuously

Testing software in a fast-paced environment requires flexibility, adaptability, and curiosity. To learn and improve continuously, it is important to seek feedback from customers, teammates, and stakeholders to identify strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, conducting retrospectives at the end of each iteration or sprint can help you review testing activities, results, and challenges. Researching and experimenting with the latest testing trends, tools, and techniques can also be beneficial. Sharing and collaborating with peers, mentors, or communities can provide valuable insights and advice. Ultimately, learning from your testing experience, feedback, and results can help you apply your knowledge to improve your testing skills, methods, and processes.

1. It is critical that development engineer prioritise and write behavior-centric tests to supports acceptance criteria in the story. Selecting true unit is key for these type of tests. 2. Using data-driven testing techniques enables you to write less test code and provide more coverage with test data varieties. 3. Testing components in isolation by using fakes and test doubles enables you to simplify and do more focused testing
