The capabilities of the testing team can greatly affect the success, or failure, of the testing effort. It is wildley known that not anyone can test this is why OsB offers you the right people for your testing team. The skills and makeup of the test team are important and must be managed and cultivated properly. There are two different processes that must be fulfilled in order to have a testing team that brings you benefits. The first one is building the team, this is the step when the right people must be selected, trained according to companie's standard. The second process which is equally important is keeping and maintaining the team "healthy" and efficient. This is the process where you harvest the benefits of initial investment. The longer the team produces efficient work your companie's benefits increases. Knowing that people are different we analyze each new recruit to exactly determine his abilities and behaviuoral patterns in order to put the right people in the right places. It is said that there are four main types of testers: the pragmatist, the facilitator, the analyst and the pioneer. It is important to recognise differences that exist so that we can maximise their strengths and efficiency. In order to retain good quality testers within test teams we invest time and energy in the people side of test management.
