| Introduction: |
| |
| This tutorial counts towards the Certified Software Test Professional requirements area 2. This
course also covers the Elective area of the Test Management Body of Knowledge (TMBOK) required for the Certified
Test Manager (CTM) certification. |

| Concepts: |
| |
| Would you like to be an instant testing expert, able to start testing effectively in new situations
without delay? Would you like to spend more of your time running tests and less of your time creating the tests?
Reusable test designs make it possible. This interactive course shows how to apply a systematic structured Proactive
Testing approach that enables you to design much more thorough tests than traditional methods. Then, you'll discover
how to convert your test designs into reusable test designs you can apply instantly in new situations. You'll develop
several reusable test designs in class and be able to add more to your toolkit back on the job. Exercises enhance
learning by allowing participants to utilize practical techniques to an actual case. |

| Objectives: |
| |
- How test designs fit into the overall test planning structure and provide special advantages
- Systematic, reliable, repeatable methods for identifying test designs to test a given system
- Checklists and guidelines that enable you to spot the conditions traditional methods overlook
- Converting your project-specific test designs into reusable test designs you can use for
other systems
- Applying reusable test designs to jumpstart your testing with instant expertise and effectiveness
This course has been designed for testers, managers, analysts, designers, programmers, auditors,
and users who plan, oversee, and/or carryout testing of software products.

- Test design specifications
- Test case specifications
- How taking time to structure saves time
- Structuring to make test sets manageable
- Facilitating reconstruction of test data
- Taking off the blinders to allow selectivity
- Re-using instead of rebuilding test designs
Identifying Needed Test Designs
- Functional (black box) testing
- Three-level approach to functional testing

- Using decision trees to identify outcomes
- Truth tables
- Cause and effect graphing for rigor
- Error guessing
Making Test Designs Reusable
- Extracting the reusable elements
- Instant expertise for testing new situations
- Enhancing with system-specific tests
