What if there isn't enough time for thorough testing?

  • Which functionality is most important to the project's intended purpose? 
  • Which functionality is most visible to the user? 
  • Which functionality has the largest safety impact? 
  • Which functionality has the largest financial impact on users? 
  • Which aspects of the application are most important to the customer? 
  • Which aspects of the application can be tested early in the development cycle? 
  • Which parts of the code are most complex and thus most subject to errors? 
  • Which parts of the application were developed in rush or panic mode? 
  • Which aspects of similar/related previous projects caused problems? 
  • Which aspects of similar/related previous projects had large maintenance expenses? 
  • Which parts of the requirements and design are unclear or poorly thought out? 
  •  What do the developers think are the highest-risk aspects of the application? 
  • What kinds of problems would cause the worst publicity? 
  • What kinds of problems would cause the most customer service complaints? 
  • What kinds of tests could easily cover multiple functionalities? 
  • Which tests will have the best high-risk-coverage to time-required ratio?
