Test Process Improvement - Measurement is Critical to Success!

To be more efficient, effective and competitive, organisations need to understand the capabilities of their development, test and quality processes. Using experience and analysis the presenter will review the benefits of process improvement and specifically the benefits that can be obtained by reviewing and improving how we test using the TMMi model. We will also look at how measurement supports TMMi.

Test Process improvement is a significant project in its own right and as such need to be managed in a way that ensures that the right changes are made and the benefit is realised. Once you have identified what needs to change and how, how do you see that the changes are delivering benefit? You need to measure before, during and after change is implemented! A cornerstone for effective change is measurement.

Often this is using the toolbox of measurement practices, coupled with the requirement of the organisation to introduce a structured measurement programme into the organisation and assisting the organisation to effectively analyse and use this data for all dynamic and historical data analysis and presentation needs.

During the presentation, we will look at how change and potential benefits of change are indentified and, using case studies, how measurement was implemented and the developing data collateral used to demonstrate realisation of these benefits and how this was very influential in ensuring effective, long term change occurred.

Brian Wells will be presenting at The Process of Software Measurement conference The Union Jack Club, Sandell Street, Waterloo, London, SE1 8UJ on 14th October 2010.
