Testing is often seen as a costly and uncontrolled process. Management often says that testing takes too much time, costs more than planned, and offers little insight into the quality of the system under test. If production systems are of poor quality, improving your testing process may help solve the problem.
Whether your test group consists of two people or two hundred, you’ll take away from this workshop a proven, systematic approach to assess your current test processes and chart a course for measurable test improvement.
The way to improve the performance of your test group depends on the size and type of your test group, your software development lifecycle, and the maturity of your test team. In this interactive, workshop-style class, you'll learn how to customize the TPI® model to fit your organization and its needs.
You'll learn how to create awareness, establish goals and scope for change, perform the assessment, select prioritized improvement actions, and implement change. Get the practical guidelines on how to take each step, including references to where the test improvement model should be applied. You’ll also learn about critical subjects needed for a successful improvement program, such as the use of metrics, the requirements for the change team, and dealing with resistance.
This interactive course offers a pragmatic, day-to-day improvement approach, including an outline for small test improvements, hints and tips for a quick start test improvement, and ways to achieve and maintain management buy-in. Potential pitfalls and expected benefits will be covered as well.
This course provides valuable information for software managers, test managers, test team leads, test consultants, QA managers, and IT process improvement specialists.
