Description

This 3 hours course will be your first step in Testing. Software testing is a high demandable field with competitive compensation. It is also known as the “back door” to Tech World because it is the easiest way to get into the field without learning programming languages!

These days we visit hundreds of websites and a lot of mobile applications on our phones – all of those were tested before we (users) see them. Only 1 position out of 6 is filled by Tech companies are things are getting even worse…

That’s why it is never been a better time to become a Software Tester (QA Analyst). This course will be your perfect start in QA.

In this course, I will use simple examples (Simpsons, car dealerships, and more) to explain to you step by step what is Testing and how easy it is to become QA Analyst.

Incorporate Testing artifacts into each SDLC Phase and conduct SDLC Phase Test Gating for their project.

Requirements

• Students do not need previous experience with the Software Development Life Cycle or Gating, but should have a basic understanding of the testing artifacts produced for a typical Software development project.

Description

The SDLC and Gating for Testing Professionals course is geared towards software testing professionals at the beginner and intermediate levels who want advance their understanding of the software development lifecycle. Test Analysts, Test Leads and Test Managers will gain an understanding of the Testing Artifacts required at each phase of the SDLC and the Gating criteria that applies to the testing activities and the testing artifacts for each phase.

The course is presented as a slide presentation with embedded video to guide you and provide additional content. The course is approximately one hour in length.

The course is divided into three main sections, each one presenting the material for each phase of the SDLC individually. The first section presents an overview of each SDLC phase and the main project activities that occur within that phase. This discussion is not limited to the testing activities, but give a more general overview of each phase. The second section gives a comprehensive look at the specific testing artifacts required at each individual phase of the SDLC. The third section presents the gating criteria for each SDLC phase as it pertains to the testing activities and testing artifacts.

This course is designed for software testing professionals as a practical guide and tool to apply to their current and future projects. The slides can be used as job aids for listing testing artifacts by SDLC phase and for gating criteria by SDLC phase.

Previous SDLC or Gating knowledge is not required. If you are a Test Lead or Test Manager who is very familiar with the SDLC and Gating, this may not be the right course for you. This course is geared towards Software Testing Professionals so may not be as useful for people outside of testing.
