Managing
and Controlling Testware
2 Days
"Testware" is a
term used to describe all
of the materials used to perform a test. Testware includes test plans,
test cases, test scripts, and any other items needed to design and
perform a test.
Designing
tests effectively, maintaining
the test documentation, and keeping track of all the test documentation
(testware) are all major challenges in the testing effort. This course
is designed to teach the process of dealing with all aspects of
testware before, during and after the test.
This
course is not designed to teach
how to develop test cases and test scripts, but rather how to organize
and manage them.
