The Pillars of Agile Testing
summary
A maturity model framed as a Greek temple claims that confidence sits atop four pillars — stronger evidence, better test design, greater coverage and faster feedback — backed by team, capability and technical foundations (notably testable architecture and configuration management). The model is presented as actionable: used to assess organizations, run surveys to score importance vs success, appears in More Agile Testing (page 402) and is reported to have helped win business when applied.
