Planning for Optimized Software Testing
Date: July 1 to 2, 2010
Description: This two-day course aims to discuss the use of measurement and metric tools as a defensible method to improve the test effort. It intends to describe and explain a different software testing method called Most Important Tests (MITs) using an optimized test document called Test Inventory. In addition, this course will discuss how to perform basic Risk Analysis, Basis Path Analysis, and Data Flow Analysis in a simple application. These are important techniques often used by the testing team in estimation, test case design, and measurement processes. Participants in this course will engage in activities wherein they can apply these methods and techniques and come up with a test effort estimation that is reliable, defendable and negotiable.
