Extended Abstract

Imagine that you build a system with 10 million lines of code. To be successful this system should have a good architecture, and for that you need good software architects - agreed.
Next, to do good testing for 10 million lines of code you also need to build an appropriate test system, though not by spaghetti coding but with a well designed, sustainable test architecture and by applying innovative software and test technologies.
But, who is responsible and in charge to make this happen? Typically neither the test manager nor the testers will do this; therefore we need to create a new role at eye level with the software/systems architects: the Test Architect is born. To implement and establish this key role we have developed a unique expert training program for Test Architects at Siemens to meet the diverse challenges of shorter time-to-market, increasing complexity, and more agility while keeping quality and other key system properties high.
This presentation introduces the new key role "Test Architect" and provides practical guidance on the needed strategies, tactics, and practices:
- Why do we need a Test Architect?
- What are the responsibilities and tasks of a Test Architect?
- How can a Test Architect provide value and create impact on the business?
Attend this presentation and do not only learn what a Test Architect is all about and why we at Siemens are driving this heavily with our unique expert training program but be able to use the corresponding strategies, tactics, and practices in your projects as a major lever to design, implement, execute, and sustain your specific approach for better testing.
