This course focuses on practical issues faced by increasing numbers of testers. These issues arise because most corporations are still fairly traditionally structured even though many software development teams are heading full steam into modern iterative, incremental, component based, software development techniques. This leaves corporate QA stuck coping with an organizational and technical paradigm shift that traditional QA policies and practices are inadequate to handle. In the highly iterative environment characteristic of these modern development projects, developers are called upon to develop certain system-level tests and system testers are expected to plan, support and review the unit and component-level testing process. Risk assessment and overall test asset allocation must also be adapted.
This course helps integrate the development and testing processes according to best current software engineering practices. Attendees learn how to create and execute effective tests for modern software systems. The course covers organizational issues for the testing process introduced by the aggressive iterative, incremental nature of most modern software development projects.
