Folder Structure for Software Testers
The following folder structure is based on the testing life cycle processes.
There are a lot of benefits in organizing your data using this structure
– Files will be stored in a systematic way– Files will be easy to find– Historical data for future projects– Work evidence of your tasks
This folder structure can be tailored to meet your needs. (Note: This best practice is based on a real world scenario, ONYX is the name of the project so make sure to customize this best practice to your own project.
