Software Quality Assurance and Testing Techniques
Duration
3 Days
Course
QATM-205
Available Formats
Classroom Training, Online Training
Course Description
Overview
This course is designed to provide an introduction to software life cycle testing concepts and techniques. Testing consumes approximately forty percent of the cost of developing and maintaining a software system; however, testing is not taught on a formal basis.Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Explain the difference between software quality assurance and software testing
- Appreciate testing and how it fits into the life cycle
- Apply the appropriate testing method application to various test phases
- Apply error prevention and error detection
- Explain the difference between and application of Internal and External testing
- Employ Static and Dynamic testing techniques within each phase of the software life cycle
- Employ quality testing methods rather than quantities of tests
- Define and develop high quality test case scenarios
- Apply various techniques for test case development.
- Define what is included in a test plan
- Choose and integrate test tools
- Describe the characteristics of a good tester
- Acquire skills and techniques for immediate application to the student's current project
Audience
- Software Developers
- System Analysts
