The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) has been set up to support a single, universally accepted, international qualification scheme, aimed at software and system testing professionals. An ISTQB certificate provides an internationally recognised qualification, which demonstrates a level of competence and professionalism.
The three day accredited course is leading up to the “Foundation Certificate in Software Testing” exam and complies with the requirements as set by ISEB and ISTQB.
The Event
This 3 day course will provide delegates with:
* An improved understanding of the fundamental principles of effective software testing and different testing terminology
* An understanding of the practical application of useful static and dynamic testing techniques and an overview of test management and available test tools
The course covers a wide range of topics including:
Fundamentals of Testing
* Why is testing necessary, What is testing? Testing Principles
* Fundamental Test Process & Psychological aspects of testing.
Testing throughout the Life Cycle
* Relationship between testing & development lifecycle models
* Test Levels (Unit, Integration, System & Acceptance)
* Test Types (Functional, Non-functional, Structural, Related to Change) and Maintenance Testing
Testing Techniques
* Static techniques (i.e. reviews, inspections and walkthroughs)
* White box test techniques (e.g. statement, decision testing)
* Black-box test techniques (i.e. equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table testing, state transition testing & use case testing)
* Experience Based Testing (e.g. exploratory testing)
Test Management
* Test planning and control
* Test organisation, test estimation, risk management, configuration management and incident management
Test tools
* Overview of the various types of test tools
* Considerations for using & introducing test tools
Who should attend?
* Anyone interested in learning more about the fundamentals of software testing
* Testers, users and developers who wish to improve their knowledge of structured testing and wish to obtain the ISTQB Foundation Certificate.
This course builds on many of the concepts introduced at the course “TMap – a structured approach to software testing”.
