Attend this Software Testing training course and gain a thorough understanding of testing approaches that can be integrated into the software life cycle. Through substantial practical exercises, you learn to implement static analysis, leverage test-design techniques, and structure testing methods into your work processes to properly design functional and maintainable products. Introduction to Software Testing Training Benefits In this course, you will learn how to: Apply general software testing principles and fundamental test processes. Implement test levels and types to various software development models. Conduct static techniques using proper roles, responsibilities, and tools. Manage tests, including planning and estimating. Certification Information This course covers multiple domains on the ISTQB Foundation certification exam If you are interested in achieving the ISTQB Foundation certification and becoming a certified tester, see Course 316, ISTQB Certified Tester: Achieving Foundation Certification Software Testing Course Outline Module 1: Fundamentals of Software Testing Assessing the goals of testing Identifying causes of software defects Organizing testing processes Planning Controlling Analyzing Designing Implementing and executing Evaluating exit criteria and reporting Module 2: Ensuring Testing throughout the Software Life Cycle Key objectives of testing Defining the inspection process Implementing test levels Component Integration System Acceptance Recognizing key concepts in maintenance testing Identifying reasons for maintenance testing Performing maintenance testing Comparing the four test types Functional Nonfunctional Structural Retesting Module 3: Implementing Static Analysis and Techniques Application of testing techniques Defining roles and responsibilities Comparing formal and informal reviews Identifying defects revealed in Static Testing Discussing the types of review Formal Review Process Planning and Preparing for Inspection Developing Successful Reviews Correcting defects and obtaining approval Module 4: Leveraging Test–Design Techniques Differentiating various "specifications" Evaluating test design Creating test cases Testing procedure Applying specification–based techniques Equivalence partitioning State transition Boundary value analysis Use case Decision table Utilizing structure–based techniques Statement Decision Condition Deploying experience–based knowledge Detecting problems based on intuition Leveraging experience and knowledge Module 5: Test Management The importance of a test policy Defining goals and objectives Assigning roles and responsibilities Structuring a test plan Writing a test plan Identifying objectives Assessing the entry and exit criteria Assigning appropriate resources Resolving defects Interpreting a test summary report Evaluating summary report content Applying common metrics Managing incidents Recording issues Analyzing defects Closing the incident Addressing project and product risks Contractual Organizational Technical Assess Determine Implement Module 6: Adopting Test Support Tools Classifying different types of test tools Test management Static testing Testing plan and report specification Executing and logging Introducing a tool into an organization Recognizing potential benefits and risks Considering special circumstances
