November 30 @ 9:00 am – December 4 @ 5:00 pm
This 3 day course is the first step towards better software and is a must for each professional in Software Development. It’s also the best preparation for the certification exam. It’s useful for both developers and testers.
This three-day course provides insight in the fundamentals of testing: what is testing and why should one test, the fundamental test process, what it is and how the different steps in the process map to different software development models. It will also explain the different test levels (or test phases) and test types.
After this overview of the fundamental test process, techniques will be presented on how to perform static and dynamic testing.
Objectives for test management will be presented, covering topics like organising the testing and test team, planning the test process, monitoring, and controlling the progress and reporting about these. It will also provide information on risks and how to control them.
To conclude, an overview of different test tools will be provided, with benefits and risks and a way to introduce such a tool into an organisation.
The course is a preparation for the exam and is accredited by ISTQB® and ISQI®. When you pass the exam, you receive a certificate that is recognized by ISTQB®. Holders of this certification will be eligible to proceed to the next stage of the Core, Agile or Specialist stream.
Please note that this course does not focus on any specific project (Prince2® , PMP®,…), development (RUP®, XP, DSDM®,…) or test (TMap®, TestFrame™, STBox™, Testing Intelligence™,…) methodology; the principles taught here can be applied to any existing methodology.
