SIGiST Event – Are we there yet? The definition of Done? – 27 July 2016

July 27, 2016 @ 17:00 - 19:00


IITPSA Members attending this event will earn CPD / LLL points


Abstract:

The role of testing within an organisation, be it internal, external or a managed service, has changed dramatically over the last 15 years. As a profession we have (mostly) evolved from Border Control (you shall not pass!!!), through to Gate Keeper (owner of quality), to Trusted Advisor (shared ownership), or, in some cases, somewhere in between these three.


The question we are asked, by many different people in the SDLC, in many different ways, ultimately boils down to the same thing… Are we ready to ship?

This presentation explores the following:

  • How do we as testers currently answer this question based on what role we currently fulfil (Border Control, Gate Keeper, Trusted Advisor)?
  • What are the pitfalls in the way we currently answer this question (Border Control, Gate Keeper, Trusted Advisor)?


How do we change our approach to more effectively (and more quickly) answer this question, and evolve through to the Trusted Advisor?
