Background
The Event
During the software development lifecycle errors occur and defects are inevitably introduced. Most organisations are aware of the importance of testing within the software development life-cycle in order to detect and remove these defects. Research has shown that the test process frequently accounts for 40% of the cost of software development. With the growing requirement for high quality and efficiency, it is becoming increasingly important for organisations to improve their software testing. Who should attend?

On completion of this workshop, delegates will be able to:

  • Understand what testing is, why testing is needed and how it is done

  • Understand key testing terminology

  • Understand the different levels and types of testing

  • Be able to describe the main steps in a fundamental test lifecycle and know how to apply it to the different test levels such as unit, system and acceptance testing

  • Recognise the relationship between testing and development

  • Be aware of the key principles of software testing

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of software testing.
