TESTCo Checklist Offers Hope for Embattled Software Product Managers

AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TESTCo has published a checklist for software product managers the company claims will result in more successful software launches and fewer headaches for managers of those products.

Authored by Jeff Hotz, "A Product Manager's Check List For Avoiding Getting Burned by Software Quality" provides a list of twenty one questions that helps a product manager assess if the quality assurance plan for the product is adequate.

"I was a software product manager for many years before starting TESTCo in 2002," said Jeff Hotz, Founder and CEO. "I know what it's like to be utterly surprised with complaints after a launch because the QA plan had let us down."

The checklist covers how a QA-as-a-Service partner should be advising and assisting the product team throughout the design and development process. The questions have been grouped into five categories: Story Development, Faster Cycle Times, Achieving Goals, Project and Release Planning, and Risk Identification.

"My goal with The Checklist was to broaden the typical view that product managers have of QA. Simply developing a test plan and uncovering bugs, while being a core function, is not where the real value exists for a firm such as TESTCo. We provide unique insight and perspective that translates into solid products that delight customers and make top management smile," Hotz said.

The "Product Manager's Check List . . ." can be downloaded from the company's blog.
