Building on Success, Beyond the Obvious
During this presentation, Erik discusses existing testing approaches, methods and techniques. Which ones really work, and which ones provide the most valuable contribution towards project success? It does not have to be perfect, often “good enough testing” is sufficient. Erik presents five important and indispensable recommendations that every (Agile) project should implement in order to be successful and deliver business value. It is based on practical experiences rather than theory.
21 November - Half Day
Workshop: Improve Your Testing With TMMi
The Test Maturity Model integration (TMMi) has a rapidly growing uptake, and is now the de-facto world-wide standard for test process improvement. An overview is provided of the TMMi model, especially TMMi levels 2 and 3 and the way TMMi supports business-driven test process improvement. In addition, the latest developments around the TMMi will be discussed, e.g., TMMi in an Agile context and the result of the world-wide TMMi user survey. The remainder of this halve day tutorial will be spent on how to use and benefit from TMMi as a Test Manager/QA Lead in your project. We will discuss which parts of the TMMi model are especially useful to evaluate and improve your testing practices at project level.
