QA and testing budgets have experienced unprecedented and worrying climbs while still struggling to meet increased demands for efficiency, more and quicker test results and good product quality.    When we think about making testing quicker and leaner and more rapid, we have to consider compared to what.  So even though the techniques that are covered in this class provide leaner, quicker more rapid testing, the gains experienced will be relative to what you are doing now, your current state of effectiveness, and how effective you are at implementing the technique.   Rapid testing isn’t technique but an overarching process of understanding what is to be achieved in the context of the test project and maximizing the value of given time.  One part is to cut out anything that isn’t necessary, and to reconceive testing as a process of inquiry, rather than a clerical task.

Course Description

This class provides a number of approaches that testing organizations can consider when they are trying to optimize the testing processes in their organization. We know that there are many challenges facing testing groups today and this course provides potential solutions to those challenges.

Who Should Attend

Test Team Leads, QA/QC Analysts, Testers

Module 1– Introduction.  Thought leaders looking at lean and testing are are demonstrating that there is waste in how we approach testing—looking for that waste can make a more efficient organization.  Many teams are working on agile projects but haven’t really considered what changes need to be made to their testing practices. This module introduces the concept of lean and agile specifically from the testing perspective.   Understanding these terms in the context of testing provides the information necessary for organizations to be more effective at testing for any type of project.

  • Module 3- How to Create Leaner and Quicker Tests covers test design approaches that make for more flexible ad speeder tests.
  • Module 4 Supporting Quicker, Leaner, More Agile Testing considers the support areas such as environment and tools that have a significant impact on testers ability to provide quick and effective testing.  Testing organizations are under increased pressure to reduce total cost of ownership of their test organizations.  How do they reduce time to plans, install, configure and validate complex test environment while improving quality of testing?  Traditional test approaches not keeping pace with demands from services to testing organizations.  How do they ensure that automation- a key factor in quicker testing is playing the best role?  Answers to these questions are the key focus for this module.
