The ABCD…and EF of Automation – Guiding Principles in a Changing World

Tuesday March 27th 2012 7am 5 0 Comments Automation Management
Historically, an organization's testing pyramid has a large set of product and application testers, mostly manual as its base. This is followed by a smaller set of system testers & user acceptance testers, and at the top of the pyramid are specialist groups like automation. I see a clear shift in this, driven by time-to-market pressures, leading to amalgamation of the development and testing functions. This shift towards convergence will invert the testing pyramid. Software engineers in test will work with developers to find and fix issues early and often, and become the base of the pyramid. Manual testers will be the smaller customer and exploratory-focused team at the top of the pyramid. Automation will drive much of the possible testing across the spectrum.

What are some real-world metrics one could implement in their organization to guide improvement or quality transformation initiatives? If so, this article will be of value to you. I will outline a five ingredient metrics ‘vowel’ soup (five-step metrics program) with a case study from a financial services company to show how metrics helped guide a transformation effort.
