SWELL Evaluation 2012

Created lots more contacts with industry

Established empirical+applied testing research in Sweden

All PhD students had close industry collab: a new modus operandi

A national approach unique in this area: Create good PR

Promoted collaboration between research groups

Companies loved the industry days (100+ participants on last)

Dependent on a few, key individuals

Companies want to send employees to courses


Traditional Innovation Processes

10-20 years

Consultants

5-15 years and often less objective

Can we shorten this to 1 year and create a cycle?


TIES = Build on and Improve from SWELL

”Put latest testing research in the hands of intrapreneurs”

Vinnovas krav till Juni 2014:

Nå ut till minst 3 företag och 10 intraprenörer

Företagen skall betala för att visa verkligt intresse

Utvärdera med intraprenörer+företag vad effekterna blir

Chalmers (och BTH) skall stötta


Basic Building Blocks


TIES = Improvement Projects + e-Learning


post-MOOC = SPOC?

MOOC = Massive Open Online Course

SPOC = Small, Private Online Course

iSPOCR = Industry SPOC from new Research


TIES Improvement Projects

• UpToDate - latest research (1-2 years old)

• Industry - adapt to time frame of industry

• Private - "elite" engineers that can make

changes happen based on new knowledge/skills

• Customized - to need of company & engineer

• Pragmatic - actual changes and improvements,

not on general "build up" of abstract knowledge

• Online - for scalability and flexible access


TIES Activities 2013

Pain workshop with ABB and Ericsson

Will this work? What should we change?

Developing the processes and models

Company assessment, Intrapreneur assessment, Research condensation process

Design + Developing a web framework for delivery

Interactive, Lightweight, Video-based

PR and attracting companies

6 talks at industry conferences, at companies, even cold-calling

Developing content

Test optimization, Visual GUI Testing, Organisational change


TIES SIP = Supported Improvement Project


Companies in pipe and lined up

2014

Batch 1

Batch 2

Batch 3

“On hold”

+ 25 people on web site


Companies differ a lot: Test size/maturity analysis

Size

Test Maturity


Teaser DEMO


TIES Lessons Learned so far

Mature companies need more mentoring, less e-learning

Can this scale? Can there be economy in this? Do they expect to pay for this or see it as “uniersity service”?

... TBD


Plan forward

2014
