NEW COURSES

Title: Managing the Testing Process *NEW!
Description: This course offers the fundamental management skills for people who lead or manage development and maintenance test efforts. The course provides essential tools, important techniques, critical processes, and significant considerations in managing the testing process.

This is a two-day training course where the participants learn about the development and use of a test plan and a test system, make effective use of bug and test tracking tools/databases. Participants will gain people skills needed to define the test team, hire the appropriate people, and keeping them motivated. They will also learn how to manage the relationship of people with their peers and their managers specifically on presenting test findings.


Title: To Automate or Not? *NEW!
Description: This two-day course will introduce you to the Automated Test Life-Cycle Methodology. How test teams introduce an automated software test tool on a new project is nearly as important as the selection of the most appropriate test tool for the project. A tool is only as good as the process being used to implement the tool. Lecture presentations are conducted to illustrate a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to the most effective tools, techniques, and methods for automated testing.


Title: Is It Testable? *NEW!
Description: This two-day course will introduce you to the best practices in building testable requirements. This course presents a complete process for eliciting the real requirements, testing them for correctness, and recording them clearly, comprehensibly and unambiguously. This training shows you how to precisely define the scope of the business problem, to discover and involve the appropriate stakeholders, to use appropriate techniques to learn what the users really need, to write testable requirements, to structure and organize requirements for system developers and to review requirements.


Title: Test Design: The Next Level *NEW!
Description: This two-day course will introduce you to the different test design approaches. Testing everything is impossible. There are infinite numbers of choices; testers can only select a small subset of these options due to resource constraints. Thus, test design concept is vital in order to choose the appropriate possible test combinations. This course is built around hands-on exercises designed to enhance and reinforce the learning experience.
