Test Process Improvement - A practical step-by-step guide to structured testing

Software testing is an essential part of software development but many organizations regard it as an uncontrollable part of the process and find it difficult to take steps to improve it. In Test Process Improvement, the authors give practical suggestions for improving the testing process in a gradual and controlled manner, with realistic goals in terms of quality, lead time and costs.

The book explains Sogeti's Test Process Improvement (TPI®) model, tried and tested by numerous professional testers, which provides a structured framework to be used either for improving an existing test process or for developing a new process from scratch. The authors use their in-depth knowledge and extensive experience to provide practical guidance and a framework that enables the reader to adapt the model for use in his/her organisation.

TMap Test Topics - General

TMap® Test Topics describes the application of the generic test methodology TMap® to current IT themes. These themes range from package implementations and data warehouses, via iterative development with components RUP® and DSDM®, to PRINCE2®.

The book also looks at specific test topics; testing chains of systems and processes, exploratory testing, outsourcing and testing, and - in keeping with the current interest in IT governance - business-driven test management. The latter theme describes how the (TMap®) test process is set up in such a way that the business as a client can control the test process on the basis of cost, end date, and risks.

TMap® Test Topics was written for those who are familiar with the TMap® methodology and wish to know how to apply TMap® in their specific situation. A wealth of additional TMap® information, including the appendices of this book, can be found on the web site www.tmap.net.
