Software Test Analysis Training – ISEB accredited

Software Test Analysis provides delegates with the skills necessary to write test procedures (test scripts) which, when executed, will exercise a system as extensively as possible from any given set of requirements. The course covers industry standard test case design techniques requiring use of specifications and code and also explores how experience-based techniques can compliment the use of more formal techniques.

Software Test Analysis Training Course Objectives

Using a specification, delegates are taken through the process of reviewing for testability, identifying test conditions, designing test cases, creating test procedures and recording information for traceability. These activities are considered so as to illustrate the influences, dependencies and follow-on actions associated with test analysis and design.

The design of tests for functional and non-functional requirements is also covered including such techniques as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis and statement, decision and condition testing. Non-functional requirement test techniques including usability, reliability and performance under load, stress and volume are also examined..
