Certificate Program Provided by Technology Ed Software Testing For registration info, please visit: http://www. technologyed. com/ courses/ c114/ index. php Course Description Software Testing is a course that teaches the concepts necessary for students to progress from an informal, chaotic approach to a systematic and repeatable testing practice. It teaches students the basics of test planning, test design, test development, and test execution/ validation utilizing the Test Maturity Model. Some of the methods illustrated will focus on effective test planning, test case design and review, understanding the manual test techniques, defect management, etc. Course Outcome After completing Foundation of Software Testing, students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following: Testing Maturity Model Levels Fundamental activities associated with test planning, execution, and analysis Basic skills to identify components of a testable requirements Design and implementation of effective defect identification and resolution techniques Familiarization with templates required to support an end to end software testing initiative Skills Learned Understanding of where testing fits within the development life cycle Understanding of the core components of the Testing Maturity Model Concepts of a systematic, repeatable approach to testing Basic understanding of test planning, test design, test preparation, and test execution/ validation Understanding of the purpose of the various levels of testing: unit, integration, system, and user acceptance Audience Any Information Technology personnel and members of the business community involved in the system software testing process. This can include IT developers/ designers, IT software testers, Quality Assurance personnel, and IT business team leaders or managers. IT managers and team leaders would also find this course beneficial in order to gain a better understanding about the effectiveness of implementing a software testing program. Recommended Prerequisites No previous testing experience or exposure to software testing is required. A general knowledge of software development processes as well as a familiarity with business and Information Technology is helpful but not essential. Assessment Students will be provided with 5 online homework assignments and 1 final examination
