Domain Knowledge in Software Testing – is it really needed and how do you address the dearth of experts?

I have come across this nice Article posted by QA InfoTech in their Corporate Blog about the Domain knowledge in Software Testing.


Until a few years ago, testing was a horizontal discipline. Someone with core disciplinary knowledge, who understood how the Software Test Life Cycle (STLC) worked, who understood test implementation from standpoints of test strategy and planning, test case design and execution, defect management could really test any product at hand.
  
Then came in a timeframe, where specialization in test started gaining prominence. Someone with specialized skills in areas such as performance testing, security testing, database testing, localization testing could build a niche for themselves in these areas going deeper into each of these disciplines.

Is a test strategy really becoming an obsolete artifact?

Until a few years ago, I vividly remember a separate phase in the software test life cycle that used to be dedicated to the development of a master test plan or the so called holy test strategy which served as the guiding document outlining the software testing process specific to the product under test. It was usually drafted by the test director or the test manager and was representative of the test team’s intelligence in helping them making the product sign off call. Such was the importance of this document; it also served as a reusable artifact often carried across releases, products and teams. Given the relative stability in the development environment such cross sharing and reusability were feasible.

Software Testing Framework:


Software testing framework:

You may have the choice of various software testing framework but getting the best one is very crucial. 

Framework driven test automation development is a best practice that has been advocated by several companies and experts in the last decade. The productivity gains, efficiency in maintaining automation code and quality of test automation code have all been spoken about at length, but really how many have actually implemented such frameworks, how they have implemented, what benefits they have been reaping are all very specific to each such effort.
