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.

Basic Principles of Software Testing

Requirements

• A requirement must contain all information needed for developers and everyone else who uses it to do their jobs. Clearness. Requirements should be transparent and clear for everyone, with only one interpretation possible.

Description

Software Testing is a method to check whether the actual software product matches expected requirements and to ensure that software product is Defect free. It involves execution of software/system components using manual or automated tools to evaluate one or more properties of interest. The purpose of software testing is to identify errors, gaps or missing requirements in contrast to actual requirements. Some prefer saying Software testing as a White Box and Black Box Testing. In simple terms, Software Testing means the Verification of Application Under Test (AUT). This tutorial introduces testing software to the audience and justifies its importance.Software engineering is the only engineering discipline where product testing is a major technical and organizational concern, as well as an important cost factor. Software testing as an integral part of software quality assurance. We view software testing as part of a comprehensive strategy for software quality assurance, alongside many other techniques. The main emphasis is on principles and practices. Testing has attracted significant interest over the past decade, the compensation levels of testing functions are on the rise.Software engineering is the only engineering discipline where product testing is a major technical and organizational concern, as well as an important cost factor.

Who this course is for:

Description

First of all, hello and thank you for enrolling to this course. I am looking forward to our time together. Enough small talk for now. Let us dive into the world of software testing.

Our world is getting more digital each day and thus more, and more qualified software testers are needed. Programs, Apps, and Websites must be thoroughly tested. One of your main activities as a tester it to assure the quality of your product. Your testing activities should find bugs and ensure that your product is working correctly. You should find bugs before the customer does, and thus you help your company to save money.

But there are much more tasks that you are responsible for besides plain testing. You may also be responsible for creating test cases and test plans. You may also be required to check requirements and documents. Ideally, you continually help to improve the testing and quality processes in your company. Your colleagues, for example, the developers trust in your deep knowledge of the software to evaluate risks.

In this course, among other things, you will learn:

• Your tasks in software testing
• Which qualifications are in demand
• Which methods and tools facilitate your daily work as a software tester
• How you manage the cross entry as a software tester
• How you can already earn money today as a software tester and much more …

You don’t need any further prerequisites except a PC and an Internet connection and still learn how to become a good software tester.

The profession as a software tester is often underestimated. Your tasks are very diverse, and ideally, you are the protector of the quality. Together with your team, you can help so that customers get their products on time and with the right quality. We all know how frustrating it is to purchase defect products. The good thing is that testing really does make fun and that it provides a valuable contribution.

ENROLL NOW to the course & start your software tester career today!

Description

This course have been developed looking at the world over requirement by the students. The area of Software Testing has acquired wider horizon and significance. This course has emphasis on a career in testing and value to practitioners. One needs to provide a programmatic and practical view of testing, together with the right balance of people, process and technology.

A process of analyzing a software item is to detect the differences between existing and required conditions (that is defects/errors/bugs) and to evaluate the features of the software item. Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent to find whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. Testing is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrary to the actual requirements. In the IT industry, large companies have a team with responsibilities to evaluate the developed software in context of the given requirements. Quality Assurance is helps organizations in instilling confidence in customers to buy their products or services. And in this course is focus on Quality Assurance concepts too.

This course is not only to help students to understand the testing concept but also help to understand the state-of-practice in software development process like work together in developing, testing and delivering products to a global customer base

Who this course is for:

• Anyone who wish to learn the basics of Software Testing and Quality Assurance concepts
• Students pursuing Bachelors and Masters courses

Description

Introduction

Hello and welcome, this course introduces a practical approach to testing software. It bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real world implementation. This article helps you gain an insight to Software Testing – understand technical aspects and the processes followed in a real working environment.

Who will benefit?

Beginners. For those of you who wish to mould your theoretical software engineering knowledge into practical approach to working in the real world.

Those who wish to take up Software Testing as a profession.

Developers! This is an era where you need to be an “All rounder”. It is advantageous for developers to posses testing capabilities to test the application before hand. This will help reduce overhead on the testing team.

Already a Tester! You can refresh all your testing basics and techniques and gear up for Certifications in Software Testing

An earnest suggestion: No matter which profession you choose, it is advisable that you posses the following skills:

–       Good communication skills – oratory and writing

–       Fluency in English

–       Good Typing skills

By the time you finish reading this article, you will be aware of all the techniques and processes that improves your efficiency, skills and confidence to jump start into the field of Software Testing.

Fun Facts:

Following are some facts that can help you gain a better insight into the realities of Software Engineering.

1. The best programmers are up to 28 times better than the worst programmers.
2. New tools/techniques cause an initial LOSS of productivity/quality.
3. The answer to a feasibility study is almost always “yes”.
4. A May 2002 report prepared for the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST)(1) estimates the annual cost of software defects in the United States as $59.5 billion.
5. Reusable components are three times as hard to build
6. For every 25% increase in problem complexity, there is a 100% increase in solution 
7. complexity.
8. 80% of software work is intellectual. A fair amount of it is creative. Little of it is clerical.
9. Requirements errors are the most expensive to fix during production.
10. Missing requirements are the hardest requirement errors to correct.
11.  Error-removal is the most time-consuming phase of the life cycle.
12. Software is usually tested at best at the 55-60% (branch) coverage level. 
13. 100% coverage is still far from enough.
14. Rigorous inspections can remove up to 90% of errors before the first test case is run.
15. Maintenance typically consumes 40-80% of software costs. It is probably the most important life cycle phase of software.
16. Enhancements represent roughly 60% of maintenance costs.
17. There is no single best approach to software error removal.

Who this course is for:

• Beginners. For those of you who wish to mould your theoretical software engineering knowledge into practical approach to working in the real world.
