"I am now able and confident with the new tools that I have learned how to obtain high level business requirements and the tools necessary to write some very good test cases. Great class. Easy to follow the presentation. Was able to hear interactions between the student and teacher during the class. This enabled me to have many of my questions answered. The instructor is very knowledable on this subject and is available during the course for questions. We just finished up a 2 year workflow project and I wish we would have taken this course prior to doing so. I would love to rewind the clock and do it over again in a more professional manner, but we will now because of this training.

It was absolutely amazing on how many topics that you touched on that I and my team can use from this point forward to help our company in testing software. We just finished up a 2 year workflow project and I wish we would have taken this course prior to doing so. I can’t even guess how many duplicate test cases and sets we wrote. I would love to rewind the clock and do it over again in a more professional manner, but we will now because of this training. All of the “roadblocks” that you mentioned about developers, environments, assumptions, etc., fit to the bill about how our processes go at our company. I can tell you have had many experiences and you have professionally tailored this class for our need based on these experiences. Well done! Everyone on our staff will take this class. I just happen to be the first one.

"I can’t wait for my manager to take this course, so that we may sit down and come up with plans of action how we can test our software more proficiently. I can guarantee you that I will highly recommend this course to anyone, and I will recommend our staff to further our education process with IIST."
