Competency Matrix For S/w Testers

Hi All,
I want to prepare a competency matrix for testers, by which we can evaluate ourselves and can set our improvements needs.
Can anyone provide me with such competency matrix for testers.

Anshul

Hi Anshul,
before advising, i have a question for you: do you have a background in competence mapping ?

Hi Surya vrat rana,
No Sir, i dont have any background in competence mapping. I have been working as Software Tester,

Hi anshul,
you will need to read Thresh hold trait analysis, Quan Com model and how to define a "behaviorally anchored rating scale"....
then you should be in a position to define a rudimentary model ...

Thanks Surya.
I thought its easy to prepare competency matrix by defining all skills needed at different levels.
Anyways, I will try to go throu with above said analysis .

hi anshul,
one needs to understand what competence is first.. for that Quan com, TTA are good reference/ reading material..
Quan com is actually one of the most popular models, initiated in healthcare sector..
next we need to convert subjective/ expert opinion into objective data ie thru BARS... (this method is used everywhere be it competence designing or environment impact assessment)
am "certified performance and competence developer" from CAMI, this is the best way i can suggest...
once you are through i can help by reading your definitions/ chosen competencies whether they are right or not.
