How to take organizations to higher testing maturity suresh bose anagha mahaj...Anagha Mahajan
Description:
For the past many years, the focus of the industry was on improving quality by writing better code and using automation and engineering. These efforts did show results but we are still far from an illusive zero-defect state while fulfilling expected time to market.
In order to further boost software quality improvement efforts, the focus has now shifted to improving testing processes. Test Maturity Model integration (TMMi) is a detailed model for test process assessment and improvement. TMMi staged model contains stages or levels that determine the maturity of an organization and lays down roadmap for moving from one maturity level to next. As the processes evolve, an organization passes from adhoc (L1) to Optimized levels (L5). Application of TMMi will lead organizations to highly mature test process, reduced rework (about 10%), increase in defect removal efficiency (about 85%), higher productivity (about 10 test cases per day or 15% higher) and faster time to market.
Learning Objectives:
1. How can your organization improve the effectiveness of testing
2. How can you sustain testing maturity
3. What is the improvement roadmap for the implementation journey to improve testing processes
4. Why TMMI is preferred to CMMI for any testing organization

1) Effective model validation aims to provide confidence in a model's robustness and results for management decision making. A validation process assesses a model's capabilities and limitations and promotes continuous improvement.
2) For validation to generate value, it must consider building trust in the model, using the model in decision making ("embedding"), and enabling continuous model improvement. Building trust requires demonstrating validation's business value through transparent communication.
3) Embedding a model requires senior management engagement and understanding. Validation helps build necessary trust for management to use model outputs in decisions. This embedding takes time as a significant change process.
This document discusses personnel validation in the pharmaceutical industry. It covers the need for personnel validation to ensure qualified employees are appropriately trained. Key areas discussed include personnel responsibilities, training requirements and methods, gowning procedures, standard operating procedures, and regulatory guidelines around personnel qualification from organizations like WHO and FDA.

The document discusses several key compliance challenges for trainers and assessors based on ASQA's findings:
- Assessment was a major area of non-compliance, with issues around insufficient evidence, informal assessment of skills, overreliance on third-party reports, and assessment not always conducted in the workplace as required.
- Training and assessment strategies were often not consistent with actual practices, lacked appropriate industry consultation, and did not adequately address duration requirements.
- Trainer and assessor competence was a challenge, with providers sometimes unable to demonstrate industry currency and qualification levels.
- Resources were also an issue in some cases, with learning materials outdated, complex, or inaccurate and insufficient simulated workplace environments for classroom-based
The document discusses the Internal Champion Programme, which trains employees within an organization to understand the matrix Standard in order to support their organization's accreditation. Internal Champions can obtain a Level 5 Certificate by planning and conducting a review of their organization's information, advice, and guidance services against the matrix Standard. The role of emqc is to manage the assessment and accreditation process. A Mentoring Assessor delivers training and supports Internal Champions. The development program involves pre-course work, a two-day workshop, conducting a review, and ongoing development. The cost for one Internal Champion is £1500 plus VAT. Open training programs are scheduled throughout 2015.

Pre course assessment- impact on assessmentIrena Morgan
This document discusses pre-course assessments and their impact on assessment for vocational education and training (VET) courses. It notes that introducing minimum prerequisites for literacy and numeracy can help ensure students are prepared for higher-level VET courses. The document also discusses an audit by the regulator ASQA that found assessors often struggled to meet standards due to poorly developed assessment tools. Three experienced writers were tasked with independently developing assessment resources but all were found to be non-compliant, likely due to a lack of diversity in their tools. Pre-course assessments are important to determine a learner's current skills and the support needed to reach the required course levels. Assessment should be at the correct skill level outlined in training packages.
The document discusses foundation skills training and resources for pre-vocational and entry-level vocational education. It provides an overview of Teach2Learn's pre-vocational literacy workbooks, which are mapped to the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and build students' language, literacy, and numeracy skills from Level 1 to the national requirement.

The assistant conducts assessments in reading and writing, identifies the learner is at level 1/2, and develops a training plan addressing skills up to level 3 using Foundation Skills units from Certificates I and II. The plan supports progressing writing from level 1 to 3 and reading from level 2 to 3 to help the learner gain the required qualifications.
Here are the key next steps after validating your pre-assessment tool:
1. Document the validation process and outcomes. Record how the tool was tested, what was evaluated, any issues identified, and actions taken.
2. Make any necessary changes or improvements to the tool based on the validation results. Modify the tool, assessment methods, guidelines, or training as needed.
3. Implement the validated tool for pre-assessing learners. Use the tool consistently as part of the enrolment process to identify learner support requirements.
4. Review learner pre-assessment results on an ongoing basis. Monitor outcomes for continual improvement opportunities. Look for inconsistencies or gaps to address through future validation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

means the process of collecting
evidence and making judgements on
whether competency has been
achieved, to confirm that an individual
can perform to the standard required in
the workplace, as specified in a
Training Package or VET accredited
course.. SRTO 2015 Part 1 Definitions
Principles of

Flexibility
Assessment is flexible to the individual learner
Validity
Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on
the evidence of performance of the individual learner
Reliability
Evidence presented for assessment is consistently

irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment
5. And validation means .. What?
http://lrrpublic.cli.det.nsw.edu.au/lrrSecure/Sites/Web/13289/resources/assessment_validation.htm#whatis
Assessment validation refers to a process where assessors compare and evaluate against the relevant
competency standard/s to ensure, validity, reliability, fairness, flexibility and effectiveness of their:
• assessment methods
• assessment tools
• assessment procedures
• assessment decisions
http://vetcommunity.ibsa.org.au/blogs/kerrie-anne-sommerfeld/2013/11/27/why-all-the-fuss-about-assessment-validation
In a nutshell, we validate assessments to check that the instructions to students and assessors are
clear (the latter are often overlooked and not provided). That assessment fairly assesses what it is
meant to assess and reflects current workplace practice. And that marking guides exist that ensure
the reliability of assessment decisions across assessors and at different times/contexts.
6. What do the
regulations
say?
SRTO 2015
1.9 The RTO implements a plan for
ongoing systematic validation of
assessment practices and
judgements that includes for each

of registration:
when assessment validation will
occur;
which training products will be the
focus of the validation;
who will lead and participate in
validation activities; and
how the outcomes of these
activities will be documented and
acted upon.
Validation is the quality review of the assessment process.
Validation involves checking that the assessment tool/s
produced valid, reliable, sufficient, current and authentic
evidence to enable reasonable judgements to be made
as to whether the requirements of the training package
or VET accredited courses are met. It includes reviewing
and making recommendations for future improvements
to the assessment tool, process and/or outcomes and
acting upon such recommendations

9. The Plan
A validation schedule is a five year plan; each training product must be
reviewed at least once in that five-year period. At least 50 per cent of the
training products must be validated in the first three years of the schedule. Your
RTO might choose to validate its training products more often, for example, if risk
indicators demonstrate that more frequent validation is required.
Indicators of risk might include:
• the use of new assessment tools

so that an RTO can
consider the validity of
both assessment practices

Moderation is a quality control process aimed at bringing
assessment judgements into alignment.
Moderation is generally conducted before the
finalisation of student results as it ensures the same
decisions are applied to all assessment results within the

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Point (HACCP) system
Critical Control Point (CCP): A step at
which control can be applied and is
essential to prevent or eliminate a
hazard or reduce it to an acceptable
level.
Therefore, gentle reader, if you really
want to beat the validation thing, you
must have a validation strategy and
procedures that start from the beginning.
One could even develop a HACCP for it
as a test and measure). There is no more
powerful evidence to put before an
auditor than proof that one has
addressed the CCP along the way and
made continuous quality improvements
resulting in very few variances in after

Then what?
Editor's Notes
So a formal or informal pre-course assessment or indicator tool or task is required BUT the RTO needs to explain the process
All assessment needs to be validated
Not validation of training but of assessments – so pre-course assessment and assessment tools OK
Training Products
Training Products is an all encompassing term that describes Training Package Qualifications, Units of Competencies, Accredited Courses and Modules.
But how does this affect your pre= course assessment???
This is not moderation – this is doen after a trial of assesmsnt to see if the tool adhers to the pricnciples of assesment
Can you use this to manage your validation process?
What is wrong with this pre-assessment? Culturally biased i.e. campsite, Incorrect questions - there is no beach at a lake!
Pre- Level 1 highly supported - will have questions read and explained – could this be done online? Using multiple choice?
What is wrong with this? It is too industry specific – you are assessing the LLN skills not their knowledge of the industry
What ACSF level do you think this measures?
Focus on lead role is with industry as the IRC will be the focus for training and assessment
This is inherent in the validation of the Foundation Skills tasks
Are these measuring what you want? What comment would you make about each if you were validating?
