Indroduction:

Three days workshop focuses on testing planning effectiveness which is a important activity to ensure that test process if followed as per agenda and requirements. Second day shows the key understanding to select critical test cases for execution and be ready when time is short for testing. Third day is mainly describe more on key process and measurements, metric which describe the health of software testing and related product.

 

Take Away

 

•  Test management to control the end to end test activities

•  Factors which are key to success and strong consideration in test planning

•  Understanding Test case sorting based on priority and minimize testing as and when require.

•  Monitor and control testing process and activities with measurement techniques

•  Solving their organizational problems

 

 

Target Audience:
