TMap® Test Topics describes the application of the generic test methodology TMap to current IT themes. These themes range from package implementations and data warehouses, via iterative development with components, RUP® en DSDM®, to PRINCE2®.  In addition, attention is given to themes in the field of testing itself: testing chains of systems and processes, exploratory testing, issues surrounding outsourcing and testing, and - in keeping with the current interest in IT governance - business-driven test management. The latter theme describes how the (TMap) test process is set up in such a way that the business as a client can control the test process on the basis of cost, end date, and risks. TMap® Test Topics was written for (organisations with) testers who are familiar with the TMap methodology and wish to know how to apply TMap in their specific situation. This book is based on the standard work `Software Testing, a guide to the TMap® approach´, written by Martin Pol, Ruud Teunissen and Erik van Veenendaal. A wealth of additional TMap information, including the appendices of this book, can be found on the web site www.tmap.net. By using contributions from many test experts, both authors and reviewers, this book contains the best available on the market. Final editing was in the hands of the Business Development department of Software Control, the Test and QA division of Sogeti Nederland BV. Both editors work in this department.

<p>This book offers business and IT managers insight into the possibilities of exerting increased business control of the test process: Business Driven Test Management (BDTM). The concept of BDTM prioritises the result and gives the client of the test process (whether a business or IT manager) the ability to manage the risk coverage, lead time and cost of the test process in both the planning and the execution phases. The book also contains an introduction to and summary of the TMap NEXT® Test Management Approach. TMap is the industry standard for testing that can be summarised in four essential principles: - Business Driven Test Management allows the client to manage testing on the basis of business considerations. - A full description of the test process, from test management to test specification &amp; execution. - A complete 'toolbox' of technique descriptions and organisational &amp; infrastructure support. - The method is adaptive, making it suitable for use in a range of situations and environments (new development, maintenance, waterfall / iterative / agile, custom-made / off-the-shelf software, outsourcing / offshoring). Over the years, TMap has evolved into the de facto standard for testing information systems. In 2006 it was updated as TMap NEXT, incorporating user experience and feedback and many practical examples, making it a highly valuable tool for current and future challenges in the field of testing. TMap NEXT is currently used in hundreds of companies and institutions in a broad range of sectors, including financial services, telecoms, government, utilities and aerospace. In addition to a summary of the methodology, TMap NEXT BDTM features a detailed description of Business Driven Test Management and is therefore an ideal book for test managers who want to improve the quality of testing in their organisations.</p>

<p>Chains are becoming longer and more complex all the time. The chance of faults keeps increasing while the importance of the chain's product grows. Testing chains is one of the ways to ensure the controllability of these risks. In practice, testing chains is not an easy matter due to the many parties involved - and it will only get more complex. This book describes a total approach for end-to-end testing that takes the growing scope and complexity of chains into account. The approach is based on TMap Next, Sogeti's test method. End-to-end testing with TMap NEXT® offers the test professional who faces the challenge of an end-to-end test everything he or she needs to execute the assignment successfully. Project or test managers that are responsible for managing the test will also find answers to the questions that are certain to arise while organising the end-to-end test. The great variety of topics that are discussed makes that this book is of interest to anyone involved with end-to-end testing in any way. This book is the first to describe a complete test approach to the most complex test variant there is, making it an indispensable tool for the test professional of the future.</p>
