This module is based on the revised version of TMap, as described in the book TMap Next®, for result-driven testing. More and more organizations realize that the quality of IT products is a critical factor in a successful business. A good software development process is essential to the control of risks and delivery of high quality software. Structured testing provides insight into the quality of the information system and the risks present at any given point in the development lifecycle. The Test Management Approach (TMap) is the perfect example of a structured test approach. TMap is a leading standard for testing. Hundreds of organizations around the world are now using TMap. In TMap NEXT Advanced, the emphasis is on coordination and management tasks, such as creating and managing a (master) test plan, preparing a budget, and conducting a product risk analysis. Achievement of the TMap NEXT Advanced certificate indicates the capacity to plan, manage and evaluate the test process. This involves explicit use of the IT governance aspects of result, risk, time and cost inherent in the business-driven test management (BDTM) approach.
The TMap NEXT Advanced exam is primarily intended for people who are involved in test management activities on a daily basis: test managers, test coordinators and test consultants/advisors. The module is also interesting for example, for test project managers who are working as test managers in a project if for project managers or development managers who are interested in the subject of test management in general.
The module TMap NEXT® Advanced is part of both Short Track Test Management and Academy Track Software Design and Development.
