Description
The Foundations of Agile Software Testing course presents an introductory overview of agile software testing and compares waterfall, iterative and agile methodologies. This course introduces students to the high level concepts of agile software testing including testing objectives and terminology, testing lifecycle, roles, activities and artifacts, test phases and types, agile acceptance criteria and test cases, agile estimation, sprint test planning and execution, defect management, agile test metrics and testing tools.
This course is divided into 9 sections and includes review quizzes covering each section. Downloadable hand-outs are available for several lectures to be used as reference material after the course.
Our goal is to create courses that are very practical so that you can use what you have learned in you day to day project work in agile teams.
Who this course is for:
- Students who are wanting to enter the Software Testing Profession or are already Software Testers and are transitioning to Agile.
