Tiivistelmä
I have worked within the QA domain for about 3 years, and am currently employed in VALA group as a QA consultant. For my thesis I will be making a diary assignment with the objective of improving and analysing my daily work in a high maturity working environment in the financial sector. I will be evaluating my progress related to my tasks and give insight into my approach in growing as a professional. The observation period covers the time period starting from 7.2.2022 up until 15.4.2022.
This thesis can be observed from a readers view to gain insight to concrete working methods in software development teams in large Finnish organizations, and a more QA domain specific view at how QA processes are developed and approached in development teams. A central theme for the thesis is the shift of our team losing our more senior tester, and my growth to fill those shoes.
The thesis covers analysis onto topics such as test planning, division of manual testing and test automation coverage, scrum retrospectives and release management. We are also utilizing QA-centric literature and known sources in evaluating these practises.
The key observations were finding effective frameworks to assess the current maturity of testing and including the whole team in providing quality by following widely accepted industry practises when applicable. Before implementing these popular practises, however, one should always discuss them amongst their own teams and stakeholders to find out whether they solve the problems inherent to their own organizational environments.
