July 30th – Tips for Scaling Testing to Meet Your Budget Needs

How to prioritise your testing
- Use historical cases to identify which areas of the application are used or fail the most
- Define each application function and group together the most common
- Determine the priorities of these functions overall and by group
- Work through all workflows and functions from front end to back
