TMap Test Topics - General

Rob Baarda, Tim Koomen

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 (organizations 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.
