The results of the 2010 Index were presented in a road-show of seminars across Australia and New Zealand, delivered by Chris Carter, Founder and Managing Director of Planit. Chris is the region’s foremost expert in Software Testing, as well as board member of the ISTQB internationally and ANZTB (the local subsidiary).

While major software development project problems are often the stuff of headlines, it seems they are more the rule than the exception – and we are getting worse at them.

According to Planit Sofware Testing’s annual Software Testing Index, only 42 percent of software projects started in the past two years were delivered on time, on budget, and in line with their original scope. This result was a decline from 2009 when 49 percent of projects were reported as being delivered optimally. The Index found that projects were more likely to run over time, cost more than was estimated, or experience changes to more than 25 percent of their original scope.

Is software testing a necessary evil in the development and deployment of software projects for Australian and New Zealand IT departments, or an essential tool in reducing budget overruns and quality nightmares?

The creators of the Planit Software Testing Index are calling on software developers and testers to help answer these and other questions with the launch of the 2010 edition of the Index today.

Designed for software testers, developers and related professionals, this year’s survey seeks to shed light on the role that testing plays in software development and its contribution to successful project outcomes.
