The rationale for the testing board

The testing board is the purple-marked area

This is what Bona Iqiniso is about. Software testing. But why does it say ‘Objective’ in the picture? Let me explain.

Building software, even working software, is not enough. The software being built must fit the needs of the business domain and also must be what the business domain envisioned to be the software product. Hence the reason why there is an application board (green area – the vision of the product) representing the product and a roadmap (blue area – delivery in time of the product) to represent the product over time during its development. Where there are goals (the roadmap) there also must be (measurable) objectives. That is the task of the testing board, to make progress measurable.
