Abstract

Test process improvement is concerned with the continuous improvement of the testing process. There are dedicated test process improvement models such as the TMM or TMap that contain best practice in software testing to mature the testing process. The test manager also conducts a lessons learned review with the test team at the end of a project, and the goal is to learn any lessons from the testing to determine what went well and what needs to be improved for the next project.
