Derk-Jan de Grood- Valori- the Netherlands

@DerkJandeGrood

Nordic Test 20151

Goals

Explain how reporting can put testing in the middle

Introduce the ‘subway map’ Get hands on… Agile Maturity and Ambition mapping

Progress reporting

PROGRESS

GHANT vs PERT

Why I love PERT

• Gives a better insight in the relations between activities

• Stimulates managing the critical path

• If made well: shows the structure of the project

Nobody likes long lists

A whole new game !

DIY: A web shop

Make a draft subwaymap for the development and testing of a webshop.

• The product group will decide on the assortment, the pricing and will deliver the product catalogue including the artwork and descriptions.

• An external web developer will setup the CMS system and add graphical design made by Marketing.

• Marketing will also deliver the structure of site and the texts for the static pages.

• An User and functional acceptance test needs to be executed prior to going live, but the management loves to have intermediate reports on the progress and quality of the system.

• site in your CMS.

What would your subway map look like?

Lets do one line at the time

Filling the product catalogue…

30

What steps need to be taken?

① Define milestones or concrete

deliverables (MMF), these are your

stations

② Place the stations on the line taking into

account the dependencies

③ Add benefits (what value does it

represent) to the stations

Complete the map…

What other lines are there… e.g. CMS, Payment, etc

31

① Divine other lines

② Define milestones or concrete deliverables

(MMF), these are your stations

③ Identify dependencies with other lines

④ Place the stations on the line taking into account

the dependencies

⑤ Add benefits (what value does it represent) to

the stations

⑥ Share you Subway map

Testing a Central Topic Has the train arrived at the station?
