Full Course Outline
System Development has changed due to the introduction of Agile. So test management has to change as well. In this tutorial you will learn how test management fits in modern system development.
We start the tutorial by discussing the value of the various test management activities. From this we’ll derive a set of key questions that any test strategy should address. The main responsibilities and test management related activities will become clear. During highly interactive exercises we will make our own agile test strategy at sprint level and learn how we can plan and monitor testing. We will do an exercise with light weight documentation (one page test plan and test charters) and discuss test strategies at e.g. release train level.
In larger organizations, we see there is a need for test management like roles. For instance, where compliance issues are important, in big projects where testing in different teams should be coordinated, as line manager of a test pool or responsible for development of test craftsmanship. In the last part of the workshop we will explore in which situation a test manager is justified.
