“…In large IT projects, there are tight deadlines, limited resources, competition, and an often small budget for testing [7]. Due to these reasons, systems are delivered/deployed without proper testing (possibly with undetected flaws and major risks).…”

“…The lack of resources and budgets are often experienced in the testing phase of projects. Moreover, traditional testing approaches (rigorous methods or processes) are not followed in the industry because of four main reasons like their requirements/prerequisites [15], costs, time, and their complexity [7,13]. In some organizations, manuals of testing exist; however, they are hardly followed because of reasons stated earlier.…”

Testing is an essential phase of project management as it ensures the quality of a product. However, testing does not get the required attention in industrial projects from project managers. Due to this, the maintenance cost of projects takes more than one-third part of the project budget. One of the major reasons is that test management frameworks are overly complex and time consuming. In this paper, we propose a test management framework which is easy to follow by project managers and test team. The framework addresses the requirements of testing from the strategic level to the operational level. It also guides the organization to cope the challenges of test management. In this paper, we also discuss the application of the framework and its implication in an industrial case study. The framework is generic in nature and can be applied in any domain by project managers.

“…Thus, seeking agility and flexibility is the key importance to meet new market demands. Many organisations have foresee this importance and wanted not to abandon their existing legacy systems and information technology infrastructure (Guah, 2009). Organisations should therefore have the initiatives to implement SOA which will vastly increase the overall benefits -increase productivity, better services and faster delivery (Bastida et al, 2008).…”

Over the years, many organisations have invested heavily in information systems, changing the way they do business for improvement. Today however, aligning business and information systems is not easily achieved due to rapidly changing business environment. The ability of an organisation to change and change quickly in response to business needs is of paramount concern. This means the current traditional approach of adopting information systems is not suitable. Thus, a need of new paradigm to make business more agile and flexible is undeniable. The new paradigm is that taking a service-oriented architecture initiative as an enabling technology for critical business processes. This review paper has identified a distinctive approach compared to traditional information systems, a generic initiative process as well as the success factors of implementing the service-oriented architecture initiative. Further work is required through case study to obtain insightful understanding on any related issues and challenges in order to build better solutions for such initiative.
