| Introduction: |
| |
| This tutorial covers area 1 & 2 of the Certified Software Test Professional requirements.
This tutorial also covers the Electives area of the Test Management Body of Knowledge (TMBOK) required for the
Certified Test Manager (CTM) certification. |
| |
| Concepts: |
| |
This course is essential to every software professional involved in software testing. For example,
programmers interested in performing effective unit testing, development or test managers wanting to gain better
control over the different test activities and the quality of the software product, test engineers and test analysts
interested in performing effective planning, designing, and monitoring all test activities. This course offers
a systematic approach to effective software testing.
Whether you have been doing testing for a number of years or you have just started, you need this course. You will
learn a number of testing practices that you might not have seen before. The course will also cover the different
types of testing performed at each phase of the software lifecycle and issues involved in these types of tests.
The course will also cover the test design phase of the testing lifecycle. It starts with in-depth coverage of
test case design techniques both for black and glass box testing. This includes Equivalence Class Partitioning,
Boundary Value Analysis, Cause-Effect Diagram, Decision Tables and Decision Trees. The last part of the course
will cover test design activities and writing Test Design Specifications including documenting test conditions,
test cases, test scripts and procedures, and expected results. |
