  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    The goal for the testing practice is to&amp;nbsp;contribute to&amp;nbsp;the delivery of defect-free software while consuming&#xD;
    the minimal amount of resources.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The main strategy for achieving this goal is to minimize&amp;nbsp;the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../ProductLineTestingMethod/guidances/concepts/defect_live_range_534C1830.html&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_Oq7aMFBHEdySQol4--Araw&quot;>Defect live range&lt;/a> for defects in the core assets and product-specific assets. The&#xD;
    tactics to be used in this&amp;nbsp;strategy include design tactics, that are described elsewhere, and testing tactics. The&#xD;
    testing tactics&amp;nbsp;include a test practice that defines a test activity for each development activity. The assumption&#xD;
    is that more and earlier testing activities will find defects earlier than in a traditional process.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    &lt;br />&#xD;
    A secondary strategy is to achieve &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../ProductLineTestingMethod/guidances/concepts/strategic_reuse_C14D2B56.html&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_NGaq8IPCEdy-WICub0uKhw&quot;>Strategic reuse&lt;/a>. Associated tactics include the explicit design of a test&#xD;
    infrastructure accounting for the variation architecture of the product line and an explicit design of the test data to&#xD;
    identify opportunities for reuse.&#xD;
