Abstract/Overview
This course describes the advantages of a systematic and structured test process to developers and testers. Students learn how integration testing is used to ensure all system components interface and interact correctly. Participants also are taught effective methods of system testing business applications. Both functional and structural system testing techniques are explored, with an emphasis on when to use each. Hands-on workshops provide students with an opportunity to develop appropriate test plans and test cases to effectively execute system and integration testing.
Audience - Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for Information Technology system testers or Quality Assurance personnel who are responsible for the software system and integration testing process. IT team leaders and managers as well as IT developers and/or designers would also find this course beneficial in order to gain a better understanding about the complexity of system/integration testing.
Prerequisite
Completion of Information Balance's Introduction to Software Testing and a familiarity with system development life cycles and testing processes and principles or equivalent knowledge.
Objective
- Understand the role of integration and system testing within the development life cycle.
