TPI® NEXT - Business Driven Test Process Improvement
Over the past ten years, TPI® has proved to be the leading methodology to
assess the maturity of an organization’s or project’s test process. This is a
success we, at Sogeti, are very proud of. But this success by no means
implies that we are ‘done’ and can rest on our laurels.
Sogeti’s answer to this need now lies in front of you: TPI® NEXT, the Business
Driven Test Process Improvement model (BDTPI)!
The strengths of the original model (Key areas, Maturity levels, Checkpoints,
Improvement suggestions and Stepwise improvement) have been kept and
have been made even stronger. The improvements that make the new model
truly business-driven are the Clusters and the Enablers.
Since business drivers change over time and from entity to entity, this model
is flexible and adaptable, and works in synch with Sogeti’s other worldleading
test methodology, TMap® NEXT. But the Business Driven TPI model is independent
so no matter what test method is used, this approach can be applied
under any circumstance.
If you have not started improving your testing process, now it is the time to
begin, and, with the TPI® NEXT book at hand, it is now even easier to do so
and to convince all of your stakeholders of its business value. But also, if you
are already on the way to improving your testing process, a close look at
Business Driven TPI will help you focus even more on the goal of improving
your testing process, namely bringing business value to your organization!
The team of authors that, using the experience and ideas of numerous
people, created this business-driven approach to Test Process Improvement.
