Concepts

This one day course offers a wide variety of practical information used to manage the entire testing process. We discuss what quality means in a company and how to effectively determine what to test. We also discuss when we can skip testing based on schedules, manpower and the risk incured by not doing the testing. In addition to determining ways to identify quality risks, we'll also discuss the quality assurance aspects of testing, including an easy checklist to use when reviewing requirements. Test planning, test case planning and tracking, scheduling and budgeting and bug tracking are covered as part of a managed test process. You leave with an understanding of the entire testing process and simple ideas that are easily implemented to allow your organization to improve its professional reputation as you implement a managed test process. The instructor uses a variety of real world examples to point out the successes and possible pitfalls of the ideas presented.
