Excellent testing is an open investigation carried out by skilled technical professionals. Excellent test management requires focusing on the people who perform the testing – their skills, behavior, and how they relate to the rest of the development process. This class will help you become a better test manager.
Some approaches to testing require rigorous scripts and procedures to be established in advance of any test execution. Management then centers on the artifacts of testing instead of the activity. Rapid Software Testing rejects this approach, because it’s bad for business: outmoded, expensive, ineffective, and missing the point. You need to find problems before it’s too late.
Rapid Software Testing Managed (RSTM) will help you and your team to focus on business risk. Rapid Software Testing methodology is designed to adapt to your particular context. That requires managers who understand testing. This class teaches managers how to create a supportive environment and culture for better software testing.
RSTM is a two-day class when we deliver it onsite, in a classroom. For in-house classes, can also offer RSTM as a one-day follow-on to Rapid Software Testing Explored. We also teach RSTM online in a four-day format, consisting of four 90-minute webinars per day.
The primary goal of this class is to help you, as a leader, deploy and sustain Rapid Software Testing methodology in your organization.
A second goal of this course is to give you a better grounding in a humanist approach to technical management.
Rapid Software Testing Managed is for you if you are responsible for managing testers or the testing process, either directly or indirectly.
- If you manage a test process directly, we will show you how to organize and justify it in a world where many people seem think that testing just slows down the project.
- If you are a development manager or product manager in a group with no test manager, we’ll help you to recognize important differences between managing programming work and managing testing work.
- If you are a leader in a development group that is working in or shifting to Agile, Scrum, or DevOps process models, we’ll show you how Rapid Software Testing methodology fits into those processes to help you test the right things, in the right way, at the right time.
- If you are responsible for managing an outsource or offshore testing group, we’ll help you to direct and steer the group and its managers to provide you with the information you need when you need it. We’ll also show you how to evaluate the quality of the testing work.
