Any software testing company during its formation passes the step of the testing team formation. No one would dispute the importance of team cohesion, as it is the substructure for any enterprise, so let’s talk about the coordination of the testing team.

Coordination means cooperation between team members oriented on effective management and expertise dependencies. All team members must maintain continuous communication with each other, exchange experiences and data on projects. For example, if team received a task to perform manual testing or automated testing for a large project, it is of enormous importance to consistently discuss milestones of work between all employees.

2 Basic States of Proper Coordination in Software Testing Team:

Comprehension. Understanding must be in relation to the customers’ requirements, to the tasks set by Program Managers or Project Managers, and the exact understanding between team members. If employees do not speak the same language the problems and delays can appear in the project’s workflow.
Securing connections. Creating solutions that will not only provide quality to the software but also make customers pleased with the testing performed. In such a case the connections with previous customers strengthen and due to the positive testimonials the new connections appear.

Applying these basic regulations, the software testing team can trace the improvements in practice. Also the nice addition would be acquiring experience in independent validation & verification.

Summing up, it should be underlined that effective coordination usually ensures the team, and the company in general, a high level of qualifications, interesting projects and an excellent reputation in the market.
