Practical Software Testing
This 3 day course focuses on general software testing practices.
Course Objectives
Provide participants with an understanding of software testing; and why, how and when to apply it.
Course Content
- Reviews
Reviews are one of the most powerful techniques in software testing, yet they are seldom used because people often underestimate their cost-saving effect. Candidates will not only be taught how to use reviews, but will also be shown how to apply them for maximum effect.
- Requirements management
Candidates will learn a process that identifies, prioritises and tracks the status of testable requirements. This process greatly enhances test management planning, design, execution and reporting.
- Testing techniques
Various techniques to select and design effective tests are taught. This enables testers to find the most serious faults in the shortest time.
- Defect management
Defect management not only allows testers to track faults, but also provides them with the techniques necessary to provide management with insightful reports. These reports include measures that show when testing on a project is no longer cost-effective. In addition, defect classification, analysis and metrics are discussed, and practical conclusions are drawn
from these.
- Testing types
The course presenter will explain various verification and validation testing types, when these should be used and how they should be implemented.
- Other areas
The course also covers other areas, such as:
- different software development lifecycles
- how to write test cases
- test execution
- tips, tricks and case studies
- answers to work-related testing questions
