Test Management Without Test Managers
Half-Day Workshop I November 13 I 9 AM – 12 PM
Description
It is helpful to think of testing as less of a role and more of an activity that people undertake in their projects or organisations. Everyone tests, but some people specialise and make a career of it. In the same way, test management is an activity associated with testing. Whether you are the tester in a team or running all the testing in a 10,000 man-year programme, you have test management activities.
Many companies have decided that the role of test managers is no longer required. You might not have a dedicated test manager, but some critical test management activities still need to be performed. How do you or your team jointly ensure these activities are covered?
Who should attend?
Testers and Teams (with or without test managers), Test leads, test managers
What You Will Gain from the Workshop
- Test management activities are required, whether you have a test manager or not
- Strategy isn’t a document – it’s a collaborative thought process with consensus
- Executing your testing in the small or the large requires care, attention and above all, good communication
Why Attend?
This tutorial sets out the key principles of these test management activities and provide insights into how you can apply them in your own situation. Paul will share stories from his (and others’) experience and identify the thinking processes you need to work through.
