Super impose does not work…
Still management wants to superimpose 1 tool.
There is not one solution that fits all problems
The ideal tools may vary over time and in each project
Introduction:
Tooling starts wiht big story, perfect tool, solution for everything, but in real it takes a year to get a little someting into operation.
Deltalloyd:
TA started on small scale, decentralized. Managing to large skill.
This slide:
Centralized: Big Entetprise tool for all. KPN: QC for all testers. Is this a succes. Yes, tooling availble for every project, No: no control over what is done with it, how it is used, no commitment. (it as option)
Question: does the advantage outweight the investment ?
Decentralized: each project its of solution.
Two extremes:
Many tools, free tools,
e.g. Sticky keys example
Disadvantage: No continuity, maybee more licentce cost, no sharing, not scalable
Other side of the spectrum:
All is regulated.
Ourt expereince is that you need to listen to the teams, they rule the need.
If you it right:
People come look to your garden…how does he do it
People want to learn and benefit from your knowledge
(link with
Succes is determined by people
Oil stain model : shange small, quick and visible)
The forces in the orgainsation
Management likes firm decisions and aims for one tool, one approach
1b) Management has a high over set of goals, that are hard to measure and do not releate to TA in a one to one relation
2) Value is found in using TA and learning to use it
so we need to
lower the treshold (get people to want to try TA
Help them to start using it operationaly
Make it sustainable
Who is using tools
Transition from tools to
The users
The things they do with it
So driven by need
Learning there is already a lot of knowledge in the organsiation
Rememer we wanted to lowr trashhold….
We believe this can be done by reusing knowledge and processes…therefor there is need voor repeativeness…preferred set of tools.
No need for BC (other drivers…..?,
MT seems to be convinced that we just shoud do it)
First show results, postpone support organisation until there is a need (
(links with small, fast, visible)
Linke with Change is in people, make them aware of the need first)
This is why the fruitbasked did not got accepted. The model is still used by us, but not understood by our enviroment.
True story, but not the right way of communicatie
This contained a message wch we misunderstood: Maybe the organsiation is not a mature as we think it is. This showed later
Link with earlier remark: Organisation might be less mature than you think…
Install some soort of Quality gate
Implemting in the organisation was more to do than just the tool. E.g.
Organisatorische haalbaarheid
Business case
Mangement involvement
Include management…who makes the decisions to do TA

Basket is tool oriented solution….
But succes is deterimined by other factors…
