Environment Management is one of the last technology areas to be recognised as a discipline in itself, no ISTQB, no Institute of Practitioners. Regularly seen as an extension of Operations and more often than not criticised as the weak link and a bottleneck, it is no wonder that internal organisations and service providers alike choose not to undertake the challenge to deliver dedicated professional services in this area.
Industry estimates 40% of testing effort is lost due to "environment"
Environments rapidly change, they are built and torn down repeatedly, representing multiple developments, projects or programmes at any given time and in reality being resourced at a fraction of the cost of Operations.
The resources need to be cross skilled in multiple technologies whilst possessing an ability to work consistently under high pressures, where SLA’s tend to be a guide rather than a decree absolute.
