a while and let people catch up
Because there’s trouble ahead
(if you don’t want to collaborate)

Traceabilityachieved in-flight;Business Impact
Analysis becomes possible
Traceability is a by-product of this way of working, not a
difficult afterthought
Coverage
![Page 20: Leadership](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f387eb4c905cd048b4edf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Traceability
• We can report test coverage at all levels• We can also report coverage against any
entry in the glossary (Ubiquitous Language)
• We can also report coverage of processes, paths and process activities (elements)– Don’t forget – processes add the value, not
software!
![Page 21: Leadership](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f387eb4c905cd048b4edf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Business impact analysis becomes viable• We have traceability from goals, risks
through requirements stories and tests• With continuous delivery, these
artefacts are always in synchronisation• We can trust our analyses much more• Most projects that fail should never
have been startedLean starts with choosing the right projects in the first place.

Will Test Leaders Stand Up?
We need to slaughter a few sacred cows
![Page 23: Leadership](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f387eb4c905cd048b4edf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Developers write code; testers test
because developers can’t
No they don’t
![Page 24: Leadership](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f387eb4c905cd048b4edf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Testing doesn’t just apply to existing software, at the
endWe test systems, not
software;We test early, we test often but it might not be called
testing
![Page 25: Leadership](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f387eb4c905cd048b4edf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Testing is about measuring
achievement, not quality
Align delivery with project goals and risks and you’ve
got a seat on the board
![Page 26: Leadership](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f387eb4c905cd048b4edf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Testers don’t own testing anymore
Be a Testmaster
