Testing techniques: The cornerstone of structured testing
Testing is a critical component in the development, construction, maintenance, and management of information systems and software products. It provides valuable insights into system quality and potential malfunction risks – exactly what your customers are looking for.
As information systems and software products grow in importance and complexity, the demand for comprehensive knowledge of testing escalates significantly.
Delivering a reliable, high-quality software product requires a structured approach to testing. A crucial element of this structured testing process is a robust, user-friendly “toolbox” of testing techniques. These techniques provide you with tried-and-true, universal methods. Moreover, they enable management and auditors to oversee the content of the testing process.
In this workshop, you will learn about various testing techniques and how to implement them in your everyday work.
