SLIME TWST 2007

Time is often the major constraint placed upon testers.

Risk is introduced any time the code is changed

The greater the change, the greater the risk

The greater the change, the greater the riskof revealing an old problem

The greater the change, the greater the riskof introducing a new problem

The greater the change, the greater the riskof having to re-test

SLIME is an ordering of testing tasks

The more structural the fix, the earlier we test

The more structural the fix, the earlier we testto avoid re-testing

Re-testing takes time

Time is constrained
