COURSE SYNOPSIS

Quality assurance teams, I.T. professionals and end users are all challenged with the need to effectively test information systems. When developing and producing commercial or internal software applications, the need for quality and accuracy is an organizational imperative.

Project success is often determined by how well a system meets requirements and customer expectations. Yet, few project teams know exactly how to verify and assure the quality and completeness of their work. This inexperience often translates to expensive system failures and delays.

This course teaches fundamental testing principles and techniques which, anyone involved with the application test process, needs to conduct effective, complete and timely testing of systems. Techniques such as String Testing, Structured Walkthroughs, Coverage Analysis, Black & White Box Tests, Boundary Value and Path Analysis can dramatically improve the overall quality of systems.

When this course is completed, the participant should feel confident to approach testing assignments with the fundamental knowledge required to test and assure quality application systems.
