Proactive Testing Workshop

PT9054
Training Summary
Proactive Testing enables you to deliver better software in less time by doing more effective testing, while also providing the value that overcomes traditional user, manager, and developer resistance. Applying special strategies and techniques that spot many of the highest yet ordinarily-overlooked risks, Proactive Testing makes sure the most important unit/component, integration/assembly, system, and UAT testing is done in limited available time. Moreover, by managing within an overall Quality perspective that catches more defects earlier when they are easier to fix, and actually prevents many showstoppers and other errors, Proactive Testing also can cut developers' time, effort, and aggravation. After establishing core concepts, this interactive workshop shows Proactive ways to apply powerful proven structured test planning and design techniques that produce value, not busywork. To enhance learning, participants practice each key technique in a series of exercises with various aspects of a real case fact situation.
