Testing is our main means of reducing software risk and typically takes half of software projects, yet still fails to catch many important defects. Traditional testing books and training emphasize using well-known test design techniques, including boundary tests and decision trees/tables, which indeed can help detect more defects; but their value is limited by testing too late and largely reacting to what’s specified in the system design.
This interactive course shows how to use these techniques, along with additional little-known but more powerful Proactive Testing™ low-busywork methods that spot and can prevent many of the highest yet ordinarily-overlooked showstopper and other risks earlier when they are easier and cheaper to fix. You’ll be able to deliver better software in less time by more effectively making sure the most important unit/component, integration/assembly, system, and UAT testing is done in limited available time, while also providing the value that overcomes traditional user, manager, and developer resistance.
To enhance learning, participants practice each key technique in a series of exercises with various aspects of a real case fact situation.
* A structured Proactive Testing model of testing that should be performed throughout the life cycle.
* Ways testing actually can cut time, effort, and aggravation for users, developers, and managers.
* Writing industry-accepted test plans, designs, and cases that make testing easier and more reliable.
* Multiple techniques/checklists to design more thorough tests and discover overlooked conditions.
* Managing test execution, including estimating/allocating resources and reporting defects and status.
* Applying risk analysis and reusable testware to perform more of the important testing in less time.
This course has been designed for testing professionals and others who manage and perform testing of software products, and also for analysts, designers, and system/project managers who need to know how Proactive Testing™ can cut software development time and effort.
