The BTN, in partnership with Prolifics Testing, brings together some of the leading testing and quality assurance professionals across industry to go further into depth about the role of testing within successful digital transformations.
The 2019-20 World Quality Report found that when they asked business leaders to rate factors in terms of the impact made on increasing the company QA and testing budget, ‘Increased amount of developments and releases’ rated the highest. Clearly, the highly iterative nature of these new DevOps and agile methodologies is both a blessing and a curse: on one hand, the software can be changed more easily and more quickly, but on the other, these changes bring increased scope for creating defects, putting more and more pressure on the testing team.
The 4th expert in this series showcases Simon Prior (Digital Test Manager at EasyJet), who alongside his full-time position is a co-host on the Testing Peers Podcast and a passionate advocate for Neurodiversity.
Simon showcases his focus on the quality of the project from day 1 and highlights the importance of getting the testing team onboard from conception, rather than during execution.
The role of communication is key to highlight quality in terms of the real business benefit that a QA team can bring. Embedding a culture of quality into your organisation creates a better vision of what everyone is aiming for and Simon looks at some ways he has brought in this change.
Simon brings about his experience in test environments and the role of automation, highlighting that “we need to have a test strategy that blends automation with good exploratory investigative testing”. Finally, Simon looks at the positive impact that offshoring has had on Technology teams throughout the past 18 months.
