software testing process

  • Defining testing activities as appropriate for the life cycle model utilized
  • The principles, scope and best practices of test planning
  • The basics and beyond of defect management
  • Management aspects of test design and execution
  • The ways to measure and control the testing process
  • Principles of test automation and its place in software life cycle
  • HR foundations of testing
  • Approaches to improving the testing process

Managing Software Testing Process is challenging due to the very nature of testing: it depends on other stakeholders in terms of timelines, deliverables, technology and sometimes even resources. To bring real value, test management should be solid enough to ensure proper validation of the system-under-test and at the same time flexible enough to align itself with the changing schedules, technologies and software development models. The course will focus on different aspects of planning, controlling and improving software testing processes in order to bring this value. Besides going through the Planning - Design - Execution - Reporting core of the testing process, we will touch upon the management aspects of test automation, and discuss different facets of testing HR.
