Continuous Test Improvement For Any Situation

Classical Test Process Improvement models don’t fit in situations where the newest development and testing approaches are adopted. Now a more suitable and flexible way of test improvement is needed.
The IT-scene is changing with increasing speed. Architectural solutions like SOA, virtualization and web technology offer fertile soil for cloud computing and the application of e.g. social media and mobile. Along the same lines we are innovating the way we develop, test and manage. Many organizations are moving towards a combination of Agile/Scrum, Context Driven Testing, Continuous Integration and Delivery, DEVOPS and TestOPS. Adequate test automation has become a prerequisite for success.
This requires a different way of test improvement, an adaptable way that responds to any innovation in both technology and development.
Ruud shares a roadmap that enables you to translate the triggers and objectives for test improvement into actions that can be implemented immediately. Learn how to achieve continuous test improvement in any situation, and take away a practical set of guidelines to enable a quick start.
