Homola, Martin ; Doležel, Michal (advisor) ; Buchalcevová, Alena (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of testing process development derived from agile project team members awareness. This analysis is the foundation for individual problem areas and sub-areas identification and also common areas for the testing process development of researched teams. Afterwards, improvement plans for these areas are proposed from the authors experience, literature and the team members input. The research findings are generalised and model areas that influence agile testing maturity is created. This thesis consists of four parts. The first part contains basic definition of the researched area terms, and explains agile maturity, agile testing maturity and agile testing in detail. It defines what the agile team is and the testers role in it. It also contains the purpose of testing, testing success factors, agile testing practices and agile test types. In the second part, the research methods and the research process is explained. The third part contains the outputs of the research. It describes research teams, their organisational context, their testing process development, team problems, common problems and improvement plans for these problems. It also contains the common areas of the testing process development and model of areas that influence agile testing maturity. The final part of this section contains the research outputs about the importance of testers in agile teams. A discussion and conclusion are at the end that contain connections between the theory and the research findings and evaluates the success of determined goals, the thesis outputs and the proposals of future work
