Description

Software Testing, although around for several decades now, is still not used as a means to an end to realize the full potential of skills and performance to deliver high value solutions within the IT community. Testing, an overall concern for everyone involved in delivery, is often perceived as overhead, yet many project fail on the delivered level of quality.

Another thing is that testing only gets on the radar after development has completed the software they are building. A delay in development results in a delay in testing, but rarely are the deadlines moved. This results in less time for testing and quality.

This course is about:

• How we can cope with these different problems and make sure that testing is integrated through-out the Application Lifecycle Management processes of your daily organisation.
• Getting insight into testing activities to fine-tune your overall test strategy.
