How to get the most out of Test Management

Abstract

Geoff ThompsonThe ISTQB Advanced Test Management training teaches you some of the disciplines needed to be a Test Manager, but it does not teach you about the soft skills, how best to use your estimates and the practical application of Risk Based testing to help you deliver better quality. Nor does it teach you what key progress indicators (KPI’s) that will help you, as a test manager, have a better view of progress.

This tutorial takes the attendee on a journey to show what the essential components of test management are.

You will learn how you negotiate, how you motivate and how to influence your team to deliver the best.

Using risk to decide on the approach to testing is a key activity for a Test Manager this tutorial will show how, due to differing risks, no two projects are the same, how to recognize risk and how to decide on which test approach best suits the quality requirements of your business.

The tutorial is a mixture of lecture and practical exercise.
