Expo QA

Van maandag 15 november t/m donderdag 18 november 2010 vindt in Madrid de Expo QA plaats, de Internatinal Conference on Software Testing and Quality.

Bekende sprekers vanuit de hele wereld zijn voor deze conferentie uitgenodigd, waaronder ook Martin Pol. Hij geeft op donderdag 18 november een presentatie met als titel: "How to succesfully outsource testing".

How to Successfully Outsource Testing

When outsourcing all or part of your testing efforts to a third-party vendor, you need a special approach to make testing effective and controlled. Martin Pol explains the roadmap to successful outsourcing.

How to define the objectives and the scope, what tasks should be outsourced and what tasks should not be outsourced,  at least not yet. He explains how to select your supplier and how to migrate, implement, and cope with organizational issues. Martin discusses contracts, service level agreements, compensation issues, and monitoring and controlling the outsourced test work, including specific metrics. The good news for testers is that outsourcing requires more testing -not less- and that new testing jobs are coming into existence. Testing the outsourcing is becoming a very important control mechanism for outsourcing in general.
