Managing Your Offshore Testing Team
Karen N. Johnson
About the Topic
Many testing teams are outsourced, using people from other companies and other countries. In many cases, neither the test manager nor the testers ever meet in person. And in these situations, most often, the time differences and cultural differences between people add more obstacles to navigate. While CEOs and other executives extol the virtues of achieving work in another country while we are asleep here in the States, as the test manager or team lead, you have the practical concerns of getting the right work done without the advantage of having staff onsite or staff working the same hours. As a software test consultant, Karen Johnson has worked with several clients who have outsourced and offshored testing. She’s worked on waterfall and Agile projects with team members in different countries. Karen will share tips on how to get to know your offshore testers, how to communicate work tasks and how to request (and review) status reporting. Karen shares her thoughts on how to bridge the gaps in offshore testing.
Key Learning Objectives
Handling staffing & status reporting
Addressing cultural-language gaps
Working on Agile projects that are not collocated
