Software Testing Checklists

Software QA Testing Checklists

Today we bring back to you another quality tool that’s so often under-used that we thought we might rehash details about it within the hope that it regains its lost glory. it’s a ‘Check List’.

A Checklist may be a catalog of items/tasks that are recorded for tracking. This list might be either ordered during a sequence or might be haphazard.

Checklists are a neighborhood and parcel of our daily lives. We use them in various situations from grocery shopping to having a to-do list for the day’s activities.
