Many testers prefer to skip writing test plans because their experience has been that test plans are mainly bureaucratic busywork, tediously wasting time generating piles of paper seemingly only for its own sake. For many others, test plans are used and consist largely of the set of executable test cases, typically written in extensive keystroke-level procedural detail, which take a long time to write, read, and revise. In this interactive course, you’ll see how to create, maintain, and beneficially use a much different, more valuable, and less burdensome kind of test plan. High-payback, low-overhead living test plans help you focus and refocus your test team’s limited time and resources to do more effective testing in less time, while also providing the value that overcomes traditional user, manager, and developer resistance to testing. You’ll see how test plans help you organize your thinking so you don’t overlook or forget things and so you can update and continually rely on the test plans to guide your testing. To enhance learning, participants practice key techniques with exercises based on real fact situations.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: 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 plan productive testing as part of software development and support.
