Delivering on our VisionIntegrated Quality Assurance

“my testers are spending too long testing the same thing”“developers and testers work in

silos and don’t communicate/speak the same language”

“we have a changed requirement, what do I need to test?”

“By the time we found a major issue with the architecture it was too late to economically fix it”

“when is my software ready to ship?” “the developers say

the defects are useless”

Common Concerns for Test/QA Managers

“my testers are spending too long testing the same thing”

“developers and testers work in silos and don’t communicate/speak the same language”

“we have a changed requirement, what do I need to test?”

“By the time we found a major issue with the architecture it was too late to economically fix it”

“when is my software ready to ship?”

“the developers say the defects are useless”

Testing Across the LifecycleAn integrated offering optimized to discover issues early and streamline the flow actionable information

Manual Testing

The majority of testing is done here ‘no more, no repro’

Actionable feedback

Fast forward for manual testing

70% Testing here

As code is developed automate critical tests

Unit testing, Code Coverage, Coded UI Testing

Test impact analysis, Gated Check-ins

Dramatically improving the build, deploy test workflow Test from an on-demand, known state

Snapshot complex environments

Find problems early lowering the impact of design flaws

Validate design decisions

Simulate production load

Quality Dashboard

Are we making progress on running test plans?How quickly are we fixing bugs?Are the tests covering the code on builds?Are build failures blocking progress?Do the “fixes” actually fix the bugs?How fast is code changing?

Software development is inherently challenging and as the solution becomes more complex risk increases.

Increased stakeholder/participant matrix ↑ risk

Distributed development ↑ latency

Heterogeneous environments ↑

complexity

Agile development ↑ velocity

Delivering our ALM Vision

Create a modern ALM system that focuses on:

• Collaboration through Integration covering all roles

• Timely and actionable feedback which reduces waste

• Target the right tools for the job (IDE, Office, browser, specialized…)

• Transparent agile processes

Approach

By 2012, agile development methods will be utilized in 80% of all software development projects. (Gartner Predicts 2010: Agile and Cloud Impact Application Development Directions, Gartner, Dec 2009)
