50. Software is a Series of Loops

51. End to end automated tests and cover 10 conditions per
test, manual covers 1 condition per test
Automated tests cover all high priority business flows,
manual tests mostly cover lower priority flows
Metrics need context!

52. Testing is more than a series of merely repeatable actions

56. Traditionally Test via the UI

Investment Profile
63. No agreed approach to testing
Tests are not considered a valuable asset
An agreed approach to testing that is aligned to a definition of quality
Tests are considered a valuable asset that can be reused as features are progressively implemented
Test strategy is agreed and understood by the team and includes targets (coverage, defects, …)
Test strategy is documented and visible as a BVC used by the team
Non-functional requirements are agreed and included in the test strategy
Test planning is based on risk (technical complexity and business impact)
Test artifacts are treated with the same importance as code and are properly maintained and refactored
The relevant ____ilityand security tests form part of the test strategy

Tools & Techniques: I use both manual and automated techniques using the preferred testing tools based on the situation
Architecture: I have an understanding of the system architecture and can create tests that verify individual components and the system as a whole
Development: I take an interest in development practices and monitor code quality metrics
Estimating: I am involved in developing estimates for projects at a story level, for tools and infrastructure and also for deployment/release activities
Reporting: I provide metrics that give insight into project health and system quality
Agile: I understand Agile project delivery and the differences between testing in the different phases of an phase
Qualifications & Training: I have recognised qualifications in testing and continually update and maintain my skills
