Reducing Test Duplication: Making the Testing Process More Efficient 
Catherine Lockstone, CPT Global

• Test schedules are always compressed in some way or another, and testing needs to ensure that what and how we are planning to test makes optimal use of the time we are given.
• Better use of test tools and engagement with the business can enable a reduction in the amount of required testing – both what is planned and what is executed.
• Test Parameterization, Test Coverage tools and techniques, and an understanding of the requirements are the keys to reducing the amount of required testing.  This approach co-exists happily with good testing practices (e.g. risk based testing), just refines them and focuses on making best use of the tools we have to use.
