Business and system users are increasingly accepting
responsibility for testing of systems to specification.
This one-day course will give potential testers an overview of the
entire testing process. The course will cover testing methods enabling effective
acceptance testing of system components prior to acceptance into production.
Business users responsible for final Acceptance Testing, prior to final
implementation. Systems
personnel responsible for the management of final testing.
Programme testing staff wishing to enhance the effectiveness of their
testing skills. Project
Managers responsible for software quality.
To provide delegates with the purpose, approach and tools for effective
Acceptance Testing.
WHAT
SKILLS WILL THE DELEGATE GAIN FROM THIS TRAINING?
This course will enable delegates to:
1. Understand where Acceptance
Testing fits in the development of
systems.
2. Identify the most effective
times on the development cycle for test plan
generation.
3. Employ static testing with
greater effect.
4. Identify Boundary classes to
enhance testing effectiveness.
5. Prepare suitable test data to
force defects to become visible.
