Testing and Quality Assurance for Managers
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training

This workshop introduces participants to the management side of testing and quality assurance. The workshop begins with an overview of the steps and techniques involved in the testing process. We discuss and offer examples on how to incorporate automated tools without the high cost of implementation. During the workshop we describe and discuss various types of testing and the peaks and pitfalls of each. We will work on team building skills and employee development options for the testing/quality assurance professional.

The workshop addresses the ideas of exploratory vs. scripted testing techniques and how you can incorporate both options in your environment to achieve an acceptable balance of testing. We discuss and demonstrate how to best manage testing changes, both small and large scale modifications and how to introduce those modifications back into the live environment. Lastly the workshop investigates how managers can document the activities in the corporate environment ensuring accountability to other managers and other departments within your organizations. Participants will apply learned techniques to improve how they elicit, analyze, document, manage, maintain and improve the testing process.
