Software testing is traditionally seen as a difficult and time consuming
activity that is hard to embed in the software development process. This
book provides a different view. It explains to stakeholders how testing
can add value to software development and doing business, and provides
the tester with practical information. TestGoal is not just another
methodology. Several good testing methodologies exist. But, like any
other profession, also testing encompasses more than the simple
application of a methodology. After all, strict adherence to a specific
methodology is no guarantee for success. Success stems from the mindset,
enthusiasm, knowledge and skill of the tester. These factors determine
whether a methodology is applied successfully and whether testing takes
on a result-driven character. And that’s what TestGoal is about: a
result-driven attitude, testing principles and expertise as fundament,
and a hands-on six step plan to enable result driven testing. Derk-Jan
de Grood and his colleagues from Collis, an international software
testing company, know about the main pitfalls in test projects from
their extensive professional experience. TestGoal has emerged from the
office floor and captures over a decade of best practice. TestGoal is
made by professionals for professionals, and it combines the mindset,
knowledge, and skills required to add value with testing and make
software development more successful. This book explains in a clear
language how you can make testing result-driven. It explains why testing
is important and describes all of the activities involved in testing. It
is enriched with recognizable examples, practical tips and useful
checklists. This makes it a "GO kit" that enables testers to immediately
get started and add value to their organization.
