My presentation to VanQ at BCIT

Metavance for Health Benefits Company engaged Hexaware to provide testing leadership and resources for a multi-year program to implement a new core administrative system including billing, enrollment, and other business areas. Hexaware developed an overall testing strategy and approach, led testing efforts, provided best practices, and created an automated test suite. They transformed the client's QA organization into a Testing Center of Excellence and introduced industry-standard processes to help ensure a successful system implementation.

Product audits have been an indispensable tool in the automotive industry for evaluating and improving product quality in the interest of the customers for many years.

QualiTest shares some insight about making improvements in your test process with the Business-Driven Test Process Improvement (TPI) model. TPI works by focusing on key areas and ranks them into categories for improvement. For more information on how to improve your testing capabilities. Visit us at: www.QualiTestGroup.com

This document provides a summary of Asad F. Swati's professional experience and qualifications. He has over 11 years of experience in Information Technology with a focus on software testing over the past 8 years. His experience includes testing web and client/server applications, as well as managing both onshore and offshore QA teams. He has worked as a Test Lead and Test Coordinator at Well Fargo Home Mortgage and as a QA Lead at J. Walter Thompson.

The Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) provides a framework to speed business process validation, eliminate redundancies, ensure high business process quality, and reduce risk to the organization. Key Goal of TCoE is to accelerate the delivery of innovation across an enterprise, while driving down the risk and cost of change, thereby stay ahead in competition.

The document describes a framework for establishing a healthcare quality assurance (QA) center of excellence (CoE). The key elements of the framework include executive commitments, key drivers, and key performance indicators (KPIs). The framework also outlines various core testing services that would be provided by the QA CoE, including manual and automated testing approaches for smoke, sanity, functional, integration, database, user interface, security, performance, patient safety, and exploratory testing.

When you go on a road trip and want to plan your journey, you need to know where you are, where you want to go, and why you want to go there. You need the same things when you want to improve your test process. It doesn’t matter whether you are agile, waterfall, or part of a Test Center of Excellence, you need to assess the current state of the process, your goal, and how to implement the improvements. Gitte Ottosen takes you through some of test process improvement frameworks—TMMI, TPI, and a low level lean approach—so you can compare the different frameworks and choose your own way. The assessment is only the foundation. It gives you an indication of your current position and can be input for a roadmap for reaching higher maturity. The most important key to success when implementing test process improvement is the people who are going to implement it. Without ownership and commitment, the process will never become an integrated part of the daily work within the teams and projects. Gitte introduces tools and practices for identifying your goal, creating your roadmap, making your journey happen—and ensuring ownership and commitment in the organization.

The document summarizes a good practice guide for requirements engineering. It outlines 66 guidelines for best practices in areas like requirements elicitation, analysis, validation and management. It recommends implementing basic practices first before moving to more intermediate and advanced practices. The guide provides examples of guidelines on using validation checklists and gives advice on planning incremental process improvements by addressing problems, setting goals and managing introductions of new practices.

Jackson Lee has over 15 years of experience leading quality assurance teams and managing projects. He has a strong background in software testing, quality control, and process development. Some of his accomplishments include achieving zero system failures for 5 years and successfully integrating two complex networks. He is highly skilled in testing, programming, project management, and communication.

The Heuristic Test Strategy Model provides a framework for designing effective test strategies. It involves considering four key areas: 1) the project environment including resources, constraints, and other factors; 2) the product elements to be tested; 3) quality criteria such as functionality, usability, and security; and 4) appropriate test techniques to apply. Some common test techniques include functional testing, domain testing, stress testing, flow testing, and scenario testing.

Oplægget blev holdt ved et seminar i InfinIT-interessegruppen Softwaretest den 27. november 2013. Læs mere om interessegruppen her: http://infinit.dk/dk/interessegrupper/softwaretest/softwaretest.htm
