Before designing any test, test cases, or test plan; first of all we have to think about the core point - how could we maximize the quality of the software? Depending on the limitation of human resources, budget, time, risk, market, and the future requirement we have to be revolved around the 'quality'and follow the centralized theme of the 'quality'.
The testing strategy to be undertaken might be driven by different factors, basically resource/time/and cost oriented factors. Looking at the nature of the development and the requirement of the project, the testing strategy could vary from flexible strategy to strict one. We need to analyze the risk and need to know how to handle overall test management, error management, and how to execute the overall test cases.
Based on the size of the project, we have to choose the strategy to be taken by either going for manual testing or automated testing. We should not go for automated one unless it is really required. But, we can not avoid manual testing. If we choose automated testing, we need to think about its environment set up, technical resources requirement, updates requirements of the tool, and cost incurred from these activities. It all depends on how we formulate the strategy.
