This workshop is designed for QA and testing leading professionals who would like to learn how to apply the TPI^® (test process improvement) model in their own organization.  We would also review the TPI^® NEXT, which is the latest updated TPI^® model from Sogeti, and the differences between the TPI^® and TPI^® NEXT.

The TPI^® model is a well-known method published in 1999 by Tim Koomen & Martin Pol which identifies 20 key areas of the testing process that need to be considered for potential improvement. 

It offers a step-by-step, structured approach to improvement of the testing process so that small, gradual changes are made which have a positive and measurable impact and are within budgetary and resource constraints.

This workshop involves presentations, interactive discussion and a practical exercise. Actual examples from the software industry are also utilized and encouraged from class to bring the model to life and make the information relevant. 

The main goals for implementing the model are to improve the quality of product and to reduce the product testing costs.

Note: TPI^® and TPI^® Next are a registered trade mark of Sogeti.

Software Quality Assurance and Software Testing Leaders and Managers that have a good understanding of software testing principles, techniques and methods yet are still struggling with software quality issues and would like to improve their testing processes.

Upon successful completion of this workshop participants will be able to:

• Understand the major principles of the TPI^® Model for test process improvement
• Understand how to apply the TPI^® model
• Be able to start making a basic assessment of their own testing processes with the TPI^® model
• Understand the TPI^® NEXT model main features
• Understand the differences between TPI^® and  TPI^® NEXT

This is not an introductory course on software testing and participants must have a good grasp of software testing terminology, methods, techniques and processes.
