Introduction to Test Engineering - Online

£636 per delegate ex vat This course is aimed at those about to embark on a career in software testing. It is suitable for apprentices, people new to testing and others seeking cross-function training.

This course introduces core testing principles for those new to testing, providing the foundations for building a career as a professional software tester.

The course provides a thorough grounding in structured and systematic test techniques that can be applied throughout the software development lifecycle, whether traditional, Agile or DevOps.

Starting with the test techniques that can be applied at the start of the development project, based on the requirements and user stories, it moves on to those which can be applied whilst the developer is writing code so that code quality may be improved when it is more cost-effective to do so.

This course also looks at techniques that can be applied once the code has been checked in for a test, and explore those suitable for use at system testing and user acceptance testing respectively.

The course comprises lectures, discussions and hands-on activities, as well as working in groups.
