Thomas E. MurphyA common topic area for us to receive questions about is around the testing organization. This includes questions on metrics, size, and structure. With the shift to agile, the increasing growth in utilization of outsourcing, and a pressure to improve quality while reducing costs it seems this is a growing pressure. While we have a good understanding of the issues involved and a feel for the trends, I want to put a few more numbers behind this so as an experiment, I am launching a survey using online tools from Qualtrics. If you are involved in software quality and testing or software development at your organization, I hope you will take time to answer about 10 quick questions in the Gartner Testing Organization survey. I will publish information from this survey and may follow it up with a few more.

Just completed the survey. It’s really fast to go through – and I am actually curious about the results. What I found very hard to do was to measure cost of test (cost of test vs. cost of non-quality being an highly debated topic!) in organizations.
The survey touches it a bit, but depending if your organization did measured it before or not, the results will highly vary.
