Track: Management Perspectives for Testers
Not all organizations have software testing teams comprised of software testing professionals. When software testing teams do not exist, companies may not be in a position to bring in a large team of skilled software test professionals to fill this void. Often a single software tester is brought in to lead teams of business testers. Leading a group of business people who often aren’t experienced in software testing is not the same as leading a group of software testers. There are often many challenges that even the strongest lead isn’t ready to deal with. Based on real life experience in leading business test teams, this presentation will discuss successes had at other organizations and look at approaches that could be applied when leading business test teams.
Key points of the presentation include:
- Understanding key differences between software test professionals and business testers
- Coaching the rules of the testing game
- Identifying approaches for test planning and execution
- Discussing common challenges when leading business testers
