There was a time when all a tester needed to be successful was a business analyst background and some domain knowledge for the system being tested. In today's fast paced world of multiple platforms, a world-wide software domain called the web, and the increasing reliance of companies on their software, this is no longer nearly enough. The old-time basic black box testing has been shouldered aside by gray box, white box, clear box and even quasi-opaque box testing.
What does this mean for the tester? They need to become knowledgeable in the language of development, the symbols of programming and database concepts. This course has been designed to introduce testers who do not have a programming background to the technical concepts that will allow them to move about in this new testing domain. The course will concentrate on those programming and development concepts that a tester needs to understand. Although, general programming concepts are covered that will benefit any non-programming technical professional including Management and IT, emphasis will be placed on teaching to the testing professional's needs.
