Software Testing Foundation Online

The Software Testing Foundation Online course provides the basic understanding of various testing concepts and terminologies involved in the software testing. The online course is designed to provide essential knowledge of fundamental principles of testing, software testing methodology and test process. The online course provides an overview of different software development models and explains how development activities are supported by various testing activities. The course enables the delegates to handle test management issues including planning and organisation, estimation and monitoring, risk-based testing as well as managing incidents and configuration. The delegates will gain an understanding of tool support for testing, its types, key benefits and potential risks of tools, selection and implementation of tools and an effective process to use the tools effectively into an organisation. You will also learn how to apply the static and dynamic testing techniques and test development process.

The Software Testing Foundation Online course is designed for anybody who wants to gain a better understanding of software testing. The online course provides a thorough understanding of fundamentals of testing and why testing is required including identification of a defect in software that may cause harm to the environment or organisation and explain how testing contributes to higher quality.
