Lean Software Testing: Continuous Improvement with Lower Risk NEW

Lean software testing is a new approach that focuses on improving testing processes and practices while reducing product risk. Matt Heusser outlines how most organizations test now, explores approaches for improvements, and demonstrates lean tools that help you understand software dev/test flow in a different way. Starting with what you are doing now, you’ll learn what to change next and ways to continually improve test activities. Matt focuses on management concepts to measure and improve both the testing and the overall development process. Leave with a solid understanding how lean manufacturing applies to software delivery—traditional, agile, context-driven, and even continuous delivery. Learn to measure the performance of testing, including cycle time, work in progress, touch time, lead time, and the ability to choose and tweak the appropriate measures for the problems at hand.
