38: Prioritize software tests with RCRCRC
11:14 Share

RCRCRC was developed by Karen Nicole Johnson.

In this episode we discuss the mnemonic/heuristic and use it to prioritize tests for the cards application.

• Recent: new features, new areas of code

• Core: essential functions must continue to work, your products USPs (Unique Selling Propositions)

• Risk: some areas of an application pose more risk, perhaps areas important to customers but not used regularly by the development team.

• Configuration sensitive: code that’s dependent on environment settings or operating system specifics

• Repaired: tests to reproduce bugs, tests for functionality that has been recently repaired.

• Chronic: functionality that frequently breaks
