Martin Pol has more than 25 years experience in the information business. Since 1983 he's completely dedicated to Testing. He has gained experience by managing testing processes and implementing structured testing in many organisations in different branches. With exceptional insight and experience in practical testing issues, Martin is a regarded presenter at conferences and training sessions throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia.
As Manager R&D of IQUIP Informatica B.V. he was responsible for the creation of the structured testing approach TMap and the Test Process Improvement model, TPI. Martin Pol is the co-author of three (Dutch) books on TMap and TPI which have been translated in English and German. A Japanese version of TPI is due in 2001. Under his management TMap has become the de facto standard for testing. Now the approach is used in more than 400 companies in Europe and the USA.
The international publication of the TPI book in English and German caused world wide application by many key-players in the IT-industry, e.g. NOKIA, Deutsche Telekom, AXA, Dell, Compaq, Intel, Novell, ABN-AMRO bank, Barclays bank, etc. Since the model is complementary to Software Process Improvement models such as the CMM, TPI is frequently used within Software Engineering Process Groups. Martin Pol was Programme Chair of the EuroSTAR conference in 1996 and 1997 and is chairman of the Dutch Special Interest Group in Software Testing, TestNet. He recently received the "European Testing Excellence Award" for his contribution to the field of testing across Europe. Through his company Polteq International Testing Services B.V. he is offering international test consultancy services now.
