Failure is not an option We all know that it costs
loads of money if we test, and yet it potentially costs us even more if we
don’t test. However, trying to cope with today’s business and technical
pressures with fewer resources means that there is never enough time to test
it all to your complete satisfaction. How much does it cost your organization
if your web-site is down for an hour, a day or even longer? This session
provides some insights into the problems and shows you a practical way to
calculate the cost of failure for your organization. Determining system complexity It is a fact of life that today’s
IT systems are more complex than ever before. This complexity is
unfortunately beating some test teams. This session shows you how to
calculate complexity and thus determine the test effort. We start with a
definition of complexity that can be applied to all issues that a test team
may encounter when testing an enterprise-sized application. We then go on to
define a methodology and tool to quantify the complexity of a
multiple-application system including networks, system interfaces, and
business process and demonstrate how this complexity factor can be used to
compare differing applications and be used to estimate staffing and schedule. Developing a risk-based test
strategy This session provides some
insights into how you might structure your test processes to ensure valuable
resources are used in the most effective way. How often do you run out of
time or money on a testing project and yet still find loads of bugs once
you’ve gone live? Why is the test environment never ready in time for the
testing despite all the promises? In this session, you will learn how to
adopt a risk-based test strategy within your planning process. By involving
all stakeholders in a project and assessing the risks to the business, your
testing effort can focus on important areas of concern. Why do my tools end up as
shelf-ware? We have all bought
software testing tools only to find several months later that they didn’t
actually meet our requirements and solve the test manager’s problem. There is
still not enough time to do all of the testing and now the resources
(automation experts) are costing even more than with a manual approach! This
session provides focus on to the real reasons why companies fail to get value
from test tools and discusses three case studies where tool benefits easily
outweigh the costs of implementation. Intended audience Our series of special
seminars that we call the "Testing Master Class" are aimed at
senior testing professionals, senior consultants and managers from all IT
disciplines who have an interest in saving money and being more efficient in
their test approach. As well as learning from the seminar leaders, delegates
will be expected to participate fully in the discussions and contribute their
own views and ideas on key software testing issues. Seminar Leaders The leaders of this
Testing Master Class are Marquis Harding and Steve Allott and there will be a
special guest speaker on the second day. Marquis is the founder and
CEO of Reality Test Inc. and has over 30 years experience in IT including
considerable experience of testing large-scale complex systems at Microsoft
Corporation. Steve is a well-known and
popular trainer and has over 25 years in the IT industry specializing in
financial services and telecommunications and is now a principal consultant
at ElectroMind, a company that creates and delivers innovative and value
added training courses in software testing.
