You Will Learn How To
- Apply general software testing principles and fundamental test processes
- Implement test levels and types to various software development models
- Conduct static techniques using proper roles, responsibilities and tools
- Perform specification- and structure-based test design techniques
- Manage tests, including planning, estimating, monitoring and controlling
- Prepare for the ISTQB/ISEB Software Testing Foundation Exam
Course Benefits The proper testing of software can save an organisation time, effort and money. In this course, you gain knowledge of testing approaches that can be integrated into the software life cycle. Through hands-on exercises, you learn how to build testing methods into your work process to correctly design products that are functionable and maintainable. The ISEB Software Testing Foundation Exam is offered at the end of class.
Who Should Attend Software testers, programmers, test leaders, quality specialists and those who would like to earn the ISTQB/ISEB Software Testing Foundation certification. A familiarity with software development concepts is assumed.
Hands-On Training Hands-on exercises and software-based exam simulations provide you with practical experience in software testing, including:
- Recognising equivalence partitions
- Performing boundary-value analysis
- Conducting state-transition testing
- Ensuring statement, decision and condition coverage
- Organising test development processes
- Writing and assessing an incident report
- Preparing test plans and documentation
- Simulating an actual exam experience
