Testing is an essential phase of project management as it ensures the quality of a product. However, testing does not get the required attention in industrial projects from project managers. Due to this, the maintenance cost of projects takes more than one-third part of the project budget. One of the major reasons is that test management frameworks...

... phase requires the time and resources like every other phase in project management. The relation between the amounts of testing, bugs, and related cost (including time and resources) is discussed in [21], and shown in Fig. 1 for a project. This figure shows that the amount of missed bugs is reduced with the passage of testing; however, it increases the cost of testing in a project. An optimal amount of testing makes sure that the number of bugs is at the minimum level with respect to the involved ...

In many research studies on IT project development process, the authors have noticed that different frameworks are used for this purpose. In fact, many companies choose specific frameworks to run their IT projects based on project type and face dissimilar problems during the execution. In this research the authors are presenting a framework for IT project development using Capability Maturity Model. The framework has been developed to improve the IT project development in a large company because of the lower rate of successfully IT projects in that company. To develop the framework, they have used design science research and evaluated this framework with the project managers from that large company. The result of this research is a framework for IT projects development that is based on generic Capability Maturity Model and is adapted to the specific needs of an IT project development environment. Moreover, the framework identifies for each key process area of IT project development, the goals and activities to be performed.
Software testing is a vital phase of software development life cycle to ensure software quality. Testing and validating a software forms necessary part of software quality. Different software applications require different configurations and run in different hardware and software environment. So, a rigid structure for testing cannot be set prior to the evolution of project. It should be developed as the project evolves. Testing involves number of activities and to manage entire testing process effectively, need of test management arises. Test management involves control of all the testing activities in a single dedicated environment. This paper presents a survey on test management process, its need, challenges and different tools that help in test management.
