Fundamentals of Software Testing

Reaching beyond the basics to maximize the impact of your testing process. Leave this workshop with high performance, high yield software testing solutions.

The current global economic crisis is placing pressure on companies to do more with less. Coming under added pressure are functions often considered support (like testing). Despite a clear and definitive understanding about its purpose and value, software testing is being asked to do more, but with less. Are your methods streamlined and versatile enough to meet this challenge in a productive way? Or will you simply choose to reduce scope and hope that major issues are avoided? The course is specifically designed to meet the challenges facing businesses today and to advance you to a higher level of responsible test behavior.

Any time you change, streamline or recast the way you do something there will be a loss of efficiency. Due in large part to a loss of confidence caused by newfound unfamiliarity, this course provides participants with ways to bridge this loss. How is this done? By:
  • Utilizing a Series of Focused Skill Building Exercises
  • Providing Real-Life Examples
  • Showing a Clear and Realistic Transition Roadmap
  • Maintaining Value Based Practicality


This intense, two- day interactive program takes participants from test foundations, understanding and promoting present practices, to addressing the wide variety of testing situations that are common in today’s business climate. These include:

  • Testing in Non-Traditional Development Environments (e.g. Iterative, Agile, Prototyping),
  • Addressing Advanced Testing Areas (e.g. Performance, Capacity, Security…), and
  • Managed testing for Maintenance, Purchased Software Solutions, and Outsourced Test Engagements.

Information contained in this valuable program goes beyond introduction. You will practice, explore and challenge each topic establishing a base of ownership. In-class hands-on exercises and activities will powerfully reinforce what you learn, giving you the practice needed to successfully integrate your new skills immediately.

Learn how to:
  • A Strategic Plan to improve and enhance YOUR testing process going forward.
  • Flexible and fluid approach to testing under varying situations.
  • Reliably advocate an appropriate level of testing, predict quality results, and form a professional platform for Release 2 testing.
  • Gain confidence and provide subject matter leadership on the project/business team.
  • Develop a compelling reason for stakeholders to WANT to be engaged in the project
  • Practice the art and science of writing test cases, including types (white box, black box, positive, negative, load testing, and beta testing)
  • Regression testing, what it is and why it needs to be done
  • Testing in an Agile environment, writing test cases before/during development not after, get acceptance testing from customers while gathering requirements
  • How to speed up testing, increase code coverage and run many test permutations with test automation
  • Tie your test cases back to your requirements through traceability
Who Should Attend:
  • Software Test and QA Professionals
  • Software Test and QA Managers
  • Quality Analysts and Engineers
