Sogeti developed, the Test Management approach (TMap®) for structured result-driven testing (both low-level and high-level) of software products. The method provides answers to the what, when, how, where and who questions of testing. TMap® can help you to deliver “more for less, faster and better”. The approach offers the following advantages:

• It can be used in any situation, regardless of who the client is or which system development approach is used
• It delivers insight into, and advice on, any risks in respect of the quality of the tested system
• It finds defects at an early stage
• It prevents defects
• The testing is on the critical path of the total development as briefly as possible, so that the total lead time of the development is shortened
• The test products (e.g. test cases) are reusable
• The test process is comprehensible and manageable.

TMap® is based on four cornerstones:

• A development process related life cycle model for the testing activities (L);
• Solid organizational embedding (O);
• The right resources and infrastructure (I);
• Usable techniques for the various testing activities (T).
