Managing software projects in today's fast-paced technological landscape is crucial for success, demanding a clear understanding of processes, people, and products. Practical Software Project Management serves as your essential guide, transforming complex project lifecycles into a manageable and actionable roadmap.
This book systematically covers the entire project journey, beginning with project initiation, objective definition, and crucial stakeholder identification. You will learn practical estimation techniques and planning strategies, alongside effective team management, including recruitment, conflict resolution, and motivation. The guide progresses through essential requirement analysis, robust architecture, and design phases, and explains how to execute successful project kickoffs. It details effective execution design, continuous tracking, managing dependencies, changes, and issue resolution. The book concludes with insights into ensuring quality assurance, implementing CI/CD practices, utilizing project metrics, conducting vital post-project reviews, and navigating performance appraisals.
Verification by the quality assurance (QA) team plays a crucial role in software development. While developers dedicate a significant portion of their time to architecture, design, and development, the remaining time is spent resolving issues raised by the QA team and stabilizing the product. Manual QA, a fundamental aspect of the verification process, involves meticulous planning and execution of tests to ensure the quality and reliability of the software.
The advantages of automation QA are as follows:
• Automates test cases
• Helps in regression testing
• Helps in continuous integration
• Difficulty in managing e2e test cases
• Difficulty in debugging e2e test cases
• Grouping test cases to run only 1 group
• Using simulators and not depending on actual systems for running tests
• Reliability, repeatability of testing
Automation helps in automatically testing the product. Some of the well-known products that are used to automate testing are Selenium, TestNG, Postman, and many more. There are many tools that can be used. There should be an appropriate selection criterion for selecting the tool. Many languages can be used for testing. Python and Java are popular languages used in test automation.
By the end of this book, you will have the skills to tackle a variety of real-world projects. You will also develop practical skills that extend beyond theoretical knowledge. This will enable you to confidently apply your newfound expertise to solve complex problems and create innovative solutions in a creative way.
What you will learn:
- Define project objectives, scopes, conduct feasibility, and identify key stakeholders.
- Apply various estimation methods, and plan with tools like Jira, ensuring transparency.
- Manage team recruitment, egos, conflicts, motivate, and set clear goals.
- Analyze requirements, guard overanalysis, design scalable, optimized, 24x7 architectures.
- Create comprehensive documentation and select optimal delivery modes (on-premise, SaaS).
- Implement CI/CD, automate deployment, and analyze comprehensive project metrics.
