Software Testing Position Documents
One of the key deliverables of any software testing project is the status report. The report or document provides the summary data that the project uses to gauge progress and judge the amount of effort remaining. A well written report helps provide credibility for the QA team and enables the manager to argue for more resources when they are needed. Without the status document there is no possibility to compare planned activities against actual work. There is no real evidence that your test team is carrying out the work they should be.
