How to Assess your Test Manager
Peter Morgan, Fabián Scarano
Test Managers often assess the competence of testers. In this eBook, we turn the tables, to allow testers to assess Test Managers. As a building block along the way, we give two views of a Test Manager: that from the point of view of a Testers, and that from the stand-point of a Test Manager himself/herself. Peter spent much of his working life as a tester, whilst Fabián has worked for a significant number of years as a Test Manager. These two views may not seem compatible, but from here, we enable a Test Manager to be assessed in a (more or less) objective way. The advantage of this approach is that the process can be carried over, to allow a more objective assessment to be made of ANY role.
