Early Feedback – The Goal and the conflict…

                                     Improve – Reduce Testing Overhead

      Ideal Batch Size

                                         Earlier Feedback – Cheaper to change



                                             Lower Testing Overhead

  •   Even without reducing testing overhead it is usually more cost-effective to reduce batch size
  •   Aim to reduce testing overhead to reduce batch size even more and be even more cost-effective

What do I do tomorrow?

 • Learn about post-agile QA.
 • Map Current State,
   Decide on Direction.
 • Work on
      – Effective whole team Automation/
        Continuous Integration/Deployment.
      – The “Test Engineer” Role –
        Identify, Gap Analysis,
        Establish plan for closing gaps.
      – Mindset/Doctrine and Processes/
        Policies to transition from Owning to
        Enabling at the teams level.

 • Proceed using small experiments or
   big revolution,
   depending on the context.
