COURSE SYNOPSIS

To be effective, Software Testers must understand the overall practices and modeling techniques employed by Business Analysts when working with End Users to define project requirements. Definition of requirements is the most critical phase of a project, and software testers must ensure that all requirements are met in order to plan and execute a successful Acceptance Test.

This is a survey course that examines the information that should be present in requirements deliverables, and also reviews the typical analysis and modeling techniques used by business analysts. Attendees will learn about a variety of typical techniques such as swimlane diagrams, process flows, workflows, entity diagrams, and UML Use Cases and Activity Diagrams. Review and approval processes for these types of models will be presented.

As there is a direct correlation between project requirements and Acceptance Testing, the course will examine traceability, and how to approach deriving a set of acceptance tests from a set of requirements.

When this course is completed, the attendee will have an increased understanding of the requirements gathering process, the contents and models of requirements and how these translate to acceptance testing requirements.
