Optimisation
• “Reviewing testing capability independently of other aspects of an organisation is often like moving deckchairs on the Titanic*”
I was happy…
• Reviewing
• Interviewing
• Strategising
Started seeing signs…
• Few talked about testing
• Structural Constraints
• Too much WIP
• No Product vision
A Teaching Hospital• Awesome ward
dashboard product
• Negative process
== negative
attitude
• Testing as a
symptom
• Recommended
balanced testing
strategy
When I returned…
• More (of
our)
consultants
• Minor local
testing
improvements
• Same pain
existed
Next time…
• Consider the system
• Root causes
• Options not solutions
Book Publisher
• Great books, bad software
• 3rd Parties
• Wanted more consultants to

I recommended…• Deep system changes for external
services…
• Not more consultants…
• Time to celebrate a job well
done?
