Over the last 20 years Geoff Thompson has been involved in many Test Process Improvement projects.

Today the amount of change and improvement going on in testing is growing, so this is still a very important part of what testers have to do.

People complain that they can’t calculate any benefits, that testers won’t change and why do they need to deliver quick wins?

This presentation looks at how to make any improvement project a success, and it does this by using some fun case study examples looking at how Geoff has seen things go wrong, and from the depth of despair Geoff will look at how things can be made to be successful.

The title of this talk was something a very senior manager once said to Geoff, – How hard can it be write a new process, just do it and just put it on peoples desks, that’s all there is to it. It will just take you a couple of weeks.

Geoff believed him at first, but have since learned his lesson.

The techniques Geoff  will be discussing are just as appropriate in Waterfall as they are in Agile, and DevOps. Come and learn all about it!

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how to structure a process
  • Understand the 8 steps to success
  • Understand key success factors
