ITIL - Implementation Of Software Testing In Better Shape

IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a publicly accessible collection of books owned by the British government, the Office of Government Commerce (OGC).

After the first publication of ITIL, the number of books has increased rapidly to about 30 volumes. The second series of publications of ITIL (v2) was published with a specific goal for ITIL was more accessible to those who are interested, and consolidate the information into sets that have grouped these guidelines in various aspects of applications, services and IT management. But the cost of the ITIL books are still significant, especially for non-commercial use.

ITIL version 3 provides a wide range of test guidelines and best practices. It does not limit the project to test the methodology, but encourages the choice of the principles that best fit the requirements. He stressed the need to reduce the risk at the beginning of the project life cycle and offers several suggestions on how to do it. process analysis described in the lifecycle of ITIL Service Transition includes change management, risk and quality control.

Before the transition of services, the project encouraged to develop policies that apply to the entire project. These include: service quality, risk, transition services, exit and change management policy.

One of the main goals of transition services is "to minimize the transition of new or modified services in production, the application of a uniform set of policies for the entire project and enforce them throughout the project life cycle, different teams are better able to implement and monitor established quality standards. Ensure understanding and buy at the beginning of senior management and clients on policies and processes that enables project teams to focus on key objectives Instead of re-education or re-negotiation policies on several occasions throughout the life cycle with the risk of changing expectations halfway. Although documentation of transition services does not limit the project in the testing methodology used specifies the following test activities should take place:

Validation and Test Management

We design the test

Check test plan and test design

Prepare the test environment

Test the

Evaluating exit criteria and reporting

Test cleaning and closing

It should be noted that the implementation of these activities for software ITIL control they will not be implemented in order. In fact, a number of activities are done in parallel.

Although ITIL, many different approaches to test one of the key objectives of Service Test and Validation is to provide quality assurance and establish the project to deliver a product that is fit for purpose and use. test approaches based on risks to support these objectives and in particular to strengthen the global political risk of the project implemented during the strategy phase.

Identifying and supplying appropriate risk matrix for an organization or a project, risk policy is better served by the testing process. Using an approach based on the risk of ITIL provides a systematic method to: assess needs, improve detection and performance, report progress and achieve consensus on high-risk claims can only support these objectives General.

As a final pointer, ITIL is regarded as more sophisticated game world of IT practices. These practices cover many functions and activities, including software testing practice.The huge ITIL can be intimidating, and it may be tempting to see too large or require too much bureaucracy to implement successfully. Certainly there are many initiatives to implement ITIL practices that have failed and many people have adopted process too bureaucratic. But there are many other organizations that have benefited from the implementation of ITIL best practices, which helped reduce the problems that had plagued them. If an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure, so ITIL could be a metaphorical response to combat obesity in our IT practice at a time when we are all aware of the need to enter a more healthy.
