$1075.00 includes a year AQAA membership; breakfast, lunch and snacks

Overview:
Day 1 covers Test Planning "how-to" course is designed for individuals having responsibility to test software systems. The material is presented in a step-by-step format from performing risk analysis through the final test report. The emphasis on this course is test planning.

Each step of the test process includes test templates and checklists. The course begins by having attendees develop a definition of what effective testing means; and concludes by having the attendees develop an action plan to improve software testing in their IT organization.

This is an intermediate level course for an individual who has some test experience and is interested in improving their level of effectiveness and efficiency in testing techniques and test methodology. It is advantageous if the attendee has had at least two or more years of practical experience in software testing, although it is not necessary.

Days 2 and 3, Test Case Design "how-to" seminar is intended to help the software quality professional better understand some of the strategies, techniques and models that can be utilized in test case design.

The primary focus will be on Equivalence Partitioning, Boundary Analysis and Decision Tables. Most quality analysts and test engineers have heard these terms but do not make the most of their capabilities. We will cover, step-by-step, how to perform each.

Attendees will practice their new skill sets with supporting exercises.

We will also discuss other test case design considerations including test level strategies (unit, integration, system, user acceptance), testing beyond functional requirements (e.g., usability, regression, configuration, performance, security, installation/un-installation), high-level strategies such as risk-based, state-based, Implementation-based, and how the Unified Modeling Language (UML) development models can support test case design, including the value of Use Cases to today's quality professional.

Course Outline:

Present test strategies, techniques and models to support test case design. Particular focus is on:
