Moving Remote Software Failure Are all types of acquisition failure caught in remote work? Feasibility analysis not done Scope creep took over Low quality requirements Weak project management Poor understanding of risk factors Security issues not considered Lack of honest communication Architectural constraints not understood Politics or coordination between organizational roles Incorrect or insufficient testing and lack of a quality plan
Moving Remote Historical Progression Is the progression for the past leading to easier remote work? Little to no testing: White elephant systems SDLC: T&E as a final stage by specialist testers Prototyping: T&E by users Agile and Xtreme: Testing by tester/developer CMM and quality approaches: testing is a parallel process to development and to be done by independent assessors Automation and tools to speed up T&E Independent T&E teams (IVV) (internal and external) Outsourced T&E (onshore, offshore, and near-shore) Is Crowd sourced T&E next? Is Remote sourced T&E after that?
Remote Work Capability Assessment T&E Managers need a precise understanding of their remote work test capabilities across their people, technology, and processes: Strengths, gaps, strategies, etc. Know early and upfront for both the acquisition and T&E workforce: Perform mutual capability assessments together Dimensions of assessment include: Skills and competencies, resources, time and automated tools for sophisticated acquisition and T&E
Building The Workforce of Tomorrow That Can Withstand Change Offer education/training based on forward thinking ideas for current analysts, developers, and T&E professionals Perform research on improving tools, software, capabilities, and processes Host think-tank consortia of the leading thought leaders to explore best practices on T&E in a changing environment Focus on our relationship with the universities and help attract and prepare next generation for T&E roles Find talent that are among the best and brightest, who have excellent interpersonal skills, are problem solvers, who are self-motivated and have programming and IT skills
