Master the planning, execution, and tracking of software testing activities to ensure delivery quality
This training allows you to understand the approach and the steps to do effective software testing: define the test objectives and acceptance criteria, develop a test strategy and a test plan, in short, set up all the activities specific to software testing to structure the tests, manage anomalies, regression tests and continuous improvement.
Is it for you ?
All development positions, specifically test analysts.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of integrated, system and acceptance testing or have taken the TL101 - Quality: Basics and Best Practices of Software Testing course
What You'll Walk Away With
- ✓ Plan all testing activities across each phase of the software development lifecycle
- ✓ Define clear test objectives with acceptance criteria and traceability matrices
- ✓ Design and execute structured test cases, including unit and integration testing
- ✓ Track progress using reliable reports, metrics, and test logs
- ✓ Manage defects effectively, prioritize fixes, and perform regression testing
Training content
In this course we will look at all the testing activities that can be planned and executed at each stage of building a software product. These test activities must be considered and selected to be part of the task book or project plan in order to ensure quality testing. This training will explain each of these activities to help you not forget anything when preparing, designing and executing your software tests. In addition, this training will help you to properly manage anomalies and regression tests.
