‘Some two years ago, TMap NEXT gave fresh impetus to testing the software Vodafone uses and the services we offer our customers. The attention devoted to the business case and product risks enables the various stakeholders at Vodafone to decide, on more adequate grounds, whether an IT system or service can be taken into production.
We have come to know TMap NEXT as a method based on practical experience that continues to be developed further. As such, we are pleased that a more detailed description of Business Driven Test Management is being published. We are confident that, like we did, even more organisations will get a firm grip on their IT.’

‘The quality of IT systems is vital to Essent.
For this reason, our testing needs to be structured and efficient. We have selected the TMap NEXT model to help us achieve this.
Business Driven Testing allows us to let the business decide on whether to run more or fewer risks, as it should.
It starts with the Product Risk Analysis sessions and continues with proposed scenarios and the eventual approval of the test budget.
In the test scripts traceability is guaranteed via the System Requirements toward the higher level Business Requirements.
In this way, TMap NEXT makes a contribution to the success of our business and Essent is able to invest its test energy where it has the greatest result.’
