Test process improvements are selected which contribute to meeting product quality and test process performance objectives.
The purpose of Test Process Optimisation is to continuously improve the existing testing processes used in the Organisation and to identify new testing technologies (e.g., test tools or test methods) that may be appropriate and to transition them into the Organisation in an orderly manner.
Test Process Optimisation also supports the re-use of test assets across the Organisation. The improvements support the Organisation’s product quality and test process performance objectives as derived from the Organisation’s business objectives.
But more formal than that at Level 3, it has to be a more planned, defined and managed process. The process improvements must be selected that will make the best benefit to the organisation as a whole.
