Workshop Motivation

"If you don't find bugs, your customers will"

Using structured methods for testing:

• Provides objective means of measuring quality of software
• Makes testing challenging and rewarding
• Increases confidence and pride in the efforts
• Creates a repeatable process
  

Workshop Objectives

As software quality control moves from an art form to an engineering discipline, we see significant changes in the way software testing is being done. Structured testing methods include developing test plans, test cases, documenting test results and using test tools.

This workshop provides a comprehensive process for test planning, test execution and result reporting. The workshop also covers techniques for effectively identifying test cases.
