Ministry of Testing, 99 Minute online Workshop :
A test strategy that is based on business purpose and needs is fundamental - but often where we stumble. We get caught up in testing terminology, test techniques and tooling – that we forget to align with the needs and goals of the business we are inside.
Stakeholders, senior management and business needs can be hard to read. I know, I've fallen into that trap many times. One way to understand management is by understanding that they have to both
respond to a rapidly changing competitive landscape
provide stable, reliable and secure services
respond to a rapidly changing competitive landscape
provide stable, reliable and secure services
Let's use this opportunity to apply a lightweight visual model of business needs and the corresponding IT architecture. Join me in creating maps that allow us to read the business strategy. It will be a map that allows you to link the business you are in with the test strategy at hand.
By the end of this workshop you will be able to:
- Visualizing your system landscape
- Understanding trends and patterns in your landscape
- Reflect on the needs of your senior management
- Relate testing activities to business needs
So if you are a principal tester, test manager, managers of testers, coaches, leads or similarly needing to design a test strategy that aligns with business challenges, then this workshop is especially for you.
