Testing Off-Shore Equipment – from High Up in the Sky to Deep Below the Sea
W17 Start Time : 14:45 End Time : 15:30
WATCH: Joep and Mark introduce their session
At Huisman Equipment off-shore is our business, which means installations capable off laying pipe lines in 2,5 kilometers deep water or fully automated drilling towers.
Software Testing in the off-shore business is still in its infancy. Strangely enough, because a defect in the controls of this kind of equipment can cause serious damage and can lead to loss of life.
Starting testing up in a company like this calls for some rather innovative approaches. We will tell you how vision and leadership led to an irreversible shift to a focus on software quality on a global scale. And how a group of people, very diverse in nationality, cultural background and education became successful pioneers in testing in this industry and how and why we grew from 0 to 20+ testers in less than 2 years.
