Holistic Testing: Weave Quality Into Your Product

by Janet Gregory, Lisa Crispin

Holistic testing is a comprehensive term to encompass testing throughout the development cycle from the start of an idea, through to customer interaction with a delivered feature. All members of a delivery team think about testing and quality from the beginning and throughout the cycle. They engage in all kinds of testing, including how to instrument their code to provide information about how it’s really behaving in production.

This mini book is about the Holistic Testing Model and how to develop a quality and testing strategy for the whole team. By whole team, we include all specialities. UI/UX designers, product owners, programmers, testers, database experts, business analysts, as well as site reliability and platform engineers. Some organizations may have specialties in separate teams rather than embedded on cross-functional teams – for example, security, performance or load testers. In our model, they collaborate closely however the teams are organized.

About the author

By the time INHERIT THE SEA was published in 1980, Janet Gregory had already written eight books of mystery, set in Montreal, Canada and Palm Beach, FL. where she was moving after completing her second novel in what appears to be a series, THE TIDES OF DESTINY. It was announced at the back of the present volume.

However, this seems to be her only work extant. Perhaps the others were written under a pseudonym.

-Information, slightly adapted, was taken from the back inside of the above-named volume.
