Abstract

The chapter is focused on test management within projects of software development. The high quality of test management is a part of the success of IT projects. There exists a high quantity of recommended practices and techniques for test management, however, it is necessary to complete these recommendations by actual trends and practical experience, since every IT project is different in its nature and it is managed in a specific environment. The first part of the chapter deals with the theoretical background of IT testing. The second part specifies the research objective, methodology and research procedures. The last part is empirical, and it describes activities of test management carried out at the observed IT project.
