@DerkJandeGrood

“We do testing on our own

judgment. Risk Analysis is no

longer done and we no longer use

the company test methodology.

We try to align with business and

development but are afraid to ask

stupid questions”

The Full Circle of Test Automation

23

1. TA only works when

mature2. We need to start with TA to gain experience

(esp in Agile)

3. Start with pilot, don't

let the organization

get in the way

4. We need a business

case in order to

convince managers

5. Business Case is

influenced by maturity

6. get started and

let each team find its own solution

7. TA as driver for Change

8.Growing need for central

approach

9. Embedding

in the organization

is crucial

10. What test do you automate? Are there any tests defined?

@DerkJandeGrood

The CD pressure drives technology

Why test it?

What to test

How to test

Acceptance

Test Analysis

Tooling, CI/CD

@DerkJandeGrood

Contradictions

All teams are responsible for Testing and Integration

Stakeholders want to Accept and require proof

that solution satisfies

Most Risks are introduced by Technical details

PO thinks Business and does not want to get under

the hood

Test Maturity is not always at desired level

Business (mis)trust IT to do proper quality checks

Quality should be a given Project management steers on deadlines

@DerkJandeGrood

We do not just need to do proper testing, we need to know that proper testing has been done

@DerkJandeGrood 35

Testing is not a new monkey that we put on your shoulder
