This course provides a broad overview of the testing activities which could usefully be undertaken at each stage of software development, from requirements-capture, to unit testing, to release.
This course provides a broad overview of the testing activities which could usefully be undertaken at each stage of software development, from requirements-capture, to unit testing, to release.
It begins with the reasons for testing as a dedicated activity, followed by explaining in detail each step of the Fundamental Test Process. A key discussion point here is often around the design of test cases - is this an activity in its own right, or a natural thought process when scripting?
We follow up with an insight into software development life-cycles, paying particular attention to the levels of testing - unit; integration (component and system); system and user acceptance testing. This topic attracts discussion on the process - how common place is a program specification, and how much unit testing is commonplace in Agile?
We then look at the review types - their purpose; levels of formality; likely stakeholders and potential benefits.
As might be expected, a key component of this course is test design. Here we provide an opportunity for some K3 work - designing test cases using industry standard techniques.
We finish up with a look at the wider picture - assessing product and project risks; the value of configuration management; defect management and the use of automation within the test process.
