Welcome to the website
This website is the online repository for random pieces of work by Mark Crowther. Who? To answer that question have a look over my Profile and find out more there. What you'll find here is all related to software testing and quality assurance. It's more a web based store of some useful discussion papers, templates for use in testing and other random information than a structured repository.

You're more than welcome to download and use what you find here, so long as it's for academic research and not commercial use. If you have any questions about software test and quality assurance feel free to email. I'll answer every mail but you might have to wait, it's a free service so "lump it", in a nice way.

Good luck with your adventures in our interesting and challenging profession - keep me posted!

Mark Crowther.
[ Updates & New Stuff ]

Jan08 Update:Test Strategy template
I never did like the original Strategy template as it was far too much like a huge Test Plan, so I've replaced it. The updated Test Strategy compliments the Test Plan template and supports the IEEE829 elements. However, it'll allow you to keep your Test Plans brief and still have the more general strategic information stored away for easy reference. Zip over to the Templates section to get a copy.

Jan08 New Stuff:Paper - Elaboration of Scrum Burndown Charts
Scrum like Burndown charts and using them with Quality like Control Charts. Have a read of the summary and paper by clicking on the Papers button.

Dec07 New Stuff:Survey!
If you missed the pop-up or clicked 'never' (how could you?) then wander over here and take the survey and have a read of the Blog to read about what it's all about.


[ Papers ]
The papers are a collection of discussions and proposals on a broad set of topics across the testing and quality domain. Send me any comments you have as I welcome feedback.
Read the papers

[ Templates ]
I like to maximise my value and reduce time to become operational by reusing work done previously but with a new flavour to make it fit the new company. In other words, a good template is worth keeping and milking role after role, no need to reinvent the wheel.
