Aligning
Business and Technical Objectives to Maximize the
Economic Benefits of Testing
John Scarborough, VP, System
Engineering, Aztec Software |
|
| |
The goal of software quality management
is twofold: effectiveness and efficiency.
Each of these has a business as well as a technical
aspect: we must continually reorient our product
engineering teams’ structure and dynamics to align
with changing business objectives, while at the same
time re-tooling and re-training to meet the demands
of new technologies. Each product’s software
test lifecycle should serve its specific business purpose.
Otherwise there is expense, but no investment; expectations,
but insufficient returns.
In this presentation we will look at aspects of the
practical application of this quality management platform
to several different software products, in both plan-driven
and Agile production environments.
