This
is a course designed for people seeking foundation
level certification based on the ISTQB
certification program. This course completely covers the current ISTQB
syllabus (2007 version)
and also provides additional information and guidance in key areas. The
terms
used in this course are taken from the current ISTQB glossary.
This
is suitable for
people just getting into the field of
software testing, seeking the ISTQB Foundation Level certification
(CTFL) or for
people who just need a refresher course or validation for their current
testing
techniques.
This
is a practical course to cover the critical path of testing. Your
instructor
will be Randy Rice, a recognized authority in the QA and testing field.
You will
learn the terminology, process, and challenges of testing in the real
world. As
a result of attending this seminar, you should have a good working
knowledge of
software testing and what it takes to design and conduct an effective
test of
software, regardless of the technology.
This
course will not only help you prepare for
certification, but also help you
become more comfortable and confident in testing software applications
at just
about any level of detail: unit, integration, system, and user
acceptance. You
will emerge from this course knowing how to develop test cases and test
plans.
You will also leave with the knowledge of how tools can help you
perform
testing.
Sometimes
people feel intimidated by the technical aspects of software testing
and lack
the confidence they need to be credible test leaders in their
organization.
Learn the issues and processes for effectively testing software by
attending
this informative and comprehensive course.
