evolution of software testing from detection to prevention the lean six sigma way- ver 2.0

RCB vs CSK

CSK needing 2 off the last ball

The Bowler commits a mistake

CSK wins with 1 ball to spare

Reduce human mistakes

Reduce variance

Increase Predictability

Transformation in thinking

Beating our Thai Elephant Syndrome

The Engineering time elapsed between UI Freeze and RTM was high to support various languages

The Internal customers needed more flexibility to make late changes to the UI

External customers always happy with more languages to be supported. More often a race against time to support many languages.

Did we need a formal Process improvement program to resolve the problems we were faced with ?

Going ahead with Lean Six Sigma

Getting trained on the Philosophy and various Lean Six Sigma tools

The Kaizen event- Attacking of problems by stakeholders from Globalization Development, Test, Localization Engineering and Translation.

Coming up with the Key Process Improvement projects

Implementation of the high priority projects. Creation of necessary tools.

Integration of the key process improvement projects in the overall workflow

Projects following the DMAIC cycle

Usage of Lean Six Sigma tools

Why do we test ?

What is the role of Automation in testing ?

Can Software testing really benefit from the formal process improvement techniques?

Detection of bugs before customers do

Helps facilitate QualityMakes Development process Productive

Helps facilitate Product specific decision making

Why do we test ?

Probability of finding bugs late increases

Usually higher communication costs

More reactive approach

Complex Test setups

Build Verification tests Functional tests

Automation for Defect detection

Automation for Defect prevention

Automation for Test efficiency

Never treat Test group in Isolation

Establish flow. Create a culture of Internal customers

Drive from the top

Define the measurement system at the outset

Change brings discomfort.

Limited applicability inCore Research basedprojects

Can have challenges implementing inNew technology areas
