  1. Improves your software testing June 12th 2014

  2. Changes in software testing • Increased expectations of quality aspects • Increasing system complexity • Increasing competition • Outdated test tools • Need for experts • Quality assurance accounts for up to 80% of development budget

  3. Ways forward? • Five simple ways to cover most requirement processes (RR) • Inspection is better than TDD – but costly • Kanban is better than Scrum (50% less lead time, 10% less errors)

  4. Ways forward… • Exploratory testing is in many cases better than traditional testing • Test design is secondary to the tester itself • Simple models are nearly equally efficient in predicting errors as advanced models

  5. Other results… • Agile methods are not preferred for organizations not ready for it • What is the optimal size for a test group? • Measurement of information density provides good predictions regarding errors • Concepts from information theory (NCD) are applicable in categorizing test cases

  6. Examples

  7. To empower skills and competence • Software testing in higher education • Certifications (ISTQB etc.) • Other educations and courses • ..a need to customize education

  8. Barriers to rapid process innovation • ..a 20 year gap

  9. Increasing complexity and demands of safety, security and reliability is met with.. • ..having more testers?

  10. Speed up innovation capabilities • To provide research to industry in much faster manners than today • Work closer to industry in rapid projects • To statistically quantify improvement procedures – not depend on qualitative assumptions! • Involve people with mandate to change

  11. Explanea • A bridge from academy to the industry • Distilling academic knowledge according to unique industry situations • Focused to pragmatic use – not abundant theory • The Explanea model is applicable to other disciplines of engineering

  12. In the Explanea model we believe.. • ..in having skilled researchers working closer to the industry • ..infusing stateof art knowledge into our clients’ organizations by engaging key test people, creating intrapreneurial abilities for sustainable process renewal

  13. The Explanea way of working • Short and rapid course formats customized to the unique situation of the client’s (Small Private Online Course – SPOC) • Focused projects (SIP) • Co-development in small cross-company groups • Measurement of project impact and further implementation of new knowledge and solutions into the client’s organization • Long-term innovation support

  14. Project plan • Currently evaluating first round beta customers (Ericsson, Danfoss, ABB) • In preparation of a new project phase in Sept/Oct • Vision to scale up during 2015

  15. Business partners University partners
