Testing techniques: a prerequisite for structured testing
Testing is an essential part of developing, building, maintaining and managing information systems and software products. It gives information on the quality of the system and provides insight into the risks of malfunctions. And that’s what your customers ask for.
As the importance and complexity of information systems and software products increase, the need for thorough knowledge of testing also increases enormously.
To deliver a software product well and reliably, a structured testing approach is necessary. An important pillar of a structured testing process is a good, usable “toolbox” with testing techniques. These techniques offer you proven, universal methods. In addition, they give management and auditors the opportunity to monitor the content of the testing process.
In this workshop you will learn about various testing techniques and how to apply them in your daily practice.
