QA environment not available | Utilize development or production environment |
Insufficient time to fully test the Touchstone application with all major web browsers | Execute ~80% of application functionality with MIT's standard browser (Mozilla Firefox 2.0) and ~20% of the functionality with other browsers. |
Test time increases due to changes in scope requiring additional test analysis and/or test case creation | If test time cannot be increased, reduce/cut overlap in multi-browser testing and execute highest priority test cases initially followed by lower priority tests until test time runs out |
Excessive defect rate or defect correction time | Execute test cases in unrelated/unblocked functional areas of the application based on designated priority |
Insufficient time to fully test the Touchstone application with all major web browsers | Prioritize the risk of the functionality to be tested. Identify high risk functionality and ensure that high risk items are tested thoroughly. All high priority items will be tested in both browsers. As time permits additional functionality will be tested based priority and risk with the most attention focused on the Mozilla browser. |
