Talk.

Test Architect – Why everybody needs (at least) one

What is the difference of a test architect to a commonly known software architect? And why do I need one? What do they have in common and where do they differ? Is there a gap where we need a bridge (Spoiler: yes)? What are the different expectations of other roles on a test architect?
Questions over questions which will be covered in this talk. With examples where it did go well because there was a test architect and examples where things got haywire maybe because a test architect was missing.
And you will also not be left alone with these questions:
How can I become such a person which is able to be a test architect.
How can I establish that role in my organization.
You will get input how we did this at Siemens and build up a living network of test architects.
