Head of Testing
TSGHead of Testing
Jun. 2013 - Apr. 2015LoughboroughI was hired by TSG to build a QA function within their R&D team. The R&D team was newly formed and the Director of R&D was in the process of building his team. TSG had no prior experience with software testing or QA and so it was my job to create this capability. I was given a fairly unique opportunity to shape the future of a QA team with very few constraints or directives. The existing team of developers and product managers were getting used to working to an agile SDLC so quite often time available to testing was tight and towards the end of a sprint. I chose to implement an approach built upon concepts I learnt on the Rapid Software Testing course with James Bach. The QA team now perform exploratory testing for three core products and a multitude of large projects including a bespoke process management system built on top of Microsoft SharePoint for a large oil and gas service company and a customer management system for a large logistics and parcel distribution company. The QA approach is continually reviewed and refined but the core concepts have now been in place for 18 Months and have stood up against ISO 9001 accreditation and various challenges with resourcing and workloads. There is a great attitude towards testing from the team members in QA and the R&D as a whole and we’ve established an environment of self-driven learning with mentoring / coaching support.
