summary
Rabobank International trains all internal testers in Rapid Software Testing, runs testing dojos and exploratory workshops, and changes its test policy to accept mind maps or one‑page plans for audits; 250 testers exist but only about 15 self-identify as context‑driven with ~50 supporters. Concurrent testing and a Michael Bolton course spread techniques, a 210‑item audit request becomes a one‑page report, and a 60‑person test competition surfaces CDT winners, yet management gives mostly lip service and multiple organizational change programs stall wider adoption.
