Awarded the EuroSTAR 2022 Software Testing Best Paper award, this eBook explores how Quality Conscious Software Delivery can help improve quality in your organisation.
Major digital and business transformations taking place in organisations warrant rapid development and innovations in the way software is delivered. Project teams do make efforts to deliver value at high speed without sacrificing quality. However, despite technological innovations and modern delivery methodologies, the triple constraint triangle of Speed-Cost-Quality remains. And when it comes to picking any two of them, the trade-off usually happens at the cost of quality. While it helps to monetise the business value of speed, offsetting the cost of poor quality isn’t always easy and it can sabotage the benefits brought by speed.
The trade-off at the cost of quality happens because organisations lack a proven approach for this balancing act. The steep cost of poor quality becomes very visible if we take a closer look at software failures in the industry. Therefore, quality needs to be seen as an opportunity. Good quality does not necessarily require additional resources if delivered through a proven approach based on quality consciousness.
This eBook offers one such approach to software delivery that puts quality at the centre, uses testing education as a tool to facilitate it while promoting modern development methodologies and engineering practices that support faster and cost-effective software deliveries.
