| Effective Software Testing |
| ( Two day Workshop ) |
| About the Course : |
| This workshop provides comprehensive coverage of the testing processes available to support the development and delivery of quality software. A project, under strict vigilance of testing, invariably fetches customer satisfaction (a key for business success).
While high level of testing calls for more investment, inadequate testing leads to enormous customer dissatisfaction. Hence there is a need for optimisation on test-investment (resource and infrastructure) in line with customer requirements.
This workshop provides an insight into the entire framework of testing which includes:
• Testing an integral part of “SDLC” and “Quality Models” (like ISO/CMMI)
• Gathering unambiguous and verifiable requirements
• Developing an inventory of test-assets (like strategy, plan, script, data and reports)
• Familiarity with levels of testing
• Exposure to testing-techniques
• Defect management (during testing)
• Measuring effectiveness (associated with testing and defect-handling)
• Industrial best practices
|
| Workshop objectives : |
| After attending this work shop, the participants (like business analysts, developers and testers) can comfortably adopt industrial best practices by
• Consolidating comprehensive test-requirements through timely involvement of stake holders (including customer)
• Developing appropriate test strategy, approach, plan and related assets
• Handling test-defects effectively and also building defect database (for future defect-prevention)
• Defining and monitoring “operational effectiveness” (through a set of meaningful metrics) |
| Workshop Contents : |
| The two day workshop would cover the topics as noted below.
