Recruiting and onboarding software testing professionals are complex and cost intensive activities. Whether onboarding is successful and sustainable depends on both the employee as well as the organization and is influenced by a number of often highly individual factors. Therefore, we propose the Software Testing Onboarding Model (STORM) for sustainably onboarding software testing professionals based on existing frameworks and models taking into account onboarding processes, sustainability, and test processes. We provide detailed instructions on how to use the model and apply it to real-world onboarding processes in two industrial case studies.
