The Full Circle of Test Automation
23
1. TA only
works when
mature
2. We need
to start with
TA to gain
experience
(esp in
Agile)
3. Start with
pilot, don't
let the
organization
get in the
way
4. We need
a business
case in
order to
convince
managers
5. Business
Case is
influenced
by maturity
6. get
started and
let each
team find its
own solution
7. TA as
driver for
Change
8.Growing
need for
central
approach
9.
Embedding
in the
organization
is crucial
10. What
test do you
automate?
Are there
any tests
defined?

Contradictions
All teams are responsible
for Testing and Integration
Stakeholders want to
Accept and require proof
that solution satisfies
Most Risks are introduced
by Technical details
PO thinks Business and
does not want to get under
the hood
Test Maturity is not always
at desired level
Business (mis)trust IT to
do proper quality checks
Quality should be a given
Project management
steers on deadlines
@DerkJandeGrood
We do not just need to do proper
testing, we need to know that proper
testing has been done 34
@DerkJandeGrood 35
Testing is not a new monkey
that we put on your shoulder

We do a lot of
Agile, SCRUM is
dominant, but we
are struggling
with it.

Seoul Test Conference - Agile in Europe, The way its done.

Editor's Notes

  • #2:   In his presentation “Agile in Europe, This is how we do it!”, Derk-Jan de Grood takes on the challenge to give you an impression on how we do our agile development and testing in Europe. Combining benchmark researches with his own experience and vision, he will share some pitfalls and share the struggles that he believes many organizations are dealing with; Cultural Aspects, The transition toward Agile, Scaling Agile and Agile Test Strategies in larger Agile projects.
  • #3: Guus Hiddink
  • #5: It impossible to tell a true story about Agile in Europe. Although I have been at conferences, I cannot speak for all of Europe
  • #6: Another reason why its imposible to scetch the way Agile is done, is because its not a out of the box solution. So everyone does it their own way.
  • #10: The Gartner hype curve from 2007 predicts that Agile will be mainstream adopted between 2012 and 2017. So now is a good moment to asses where we stand with SCRUM adoption. From my experience I’d say that the majority of teams are still not developing according to SCRUM. So I’d guess that 30-40% of the teams are using SCRUM, and 60-70% might have some knowledge but do not practice it. But although I meet a lot of people from many companies, my reference is of course limited. What do you think?
