Overview

Acceptance testing without a test plan is similar to taking off without a flight plan. If you don't know what needs to be done to responsibly validate that an information technology solution meets the defined business requirements, you place the project (and potentially your organization) at risk.

An appropriate testing strategy is based on an assessment of business risks, the underlying technology, organizational structure, the development process, and the people who are impacted by the solution. Test plans detail how to implement your selected testing strategy. Creating well-based and thorough test plans keep the testing process moving and make it more receptive to the inevitable changes that will happen late in the project.

Objectives
  • List the 7 major steps of a well-defined testing methodology
  • Determine when to use walkthroughs, reviews, and inspections
  • Select the appropriate type of coverage to reduce business risks
  • Recognize unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing
  • Assemble the 17 key elements of effective test plans
  • Create a test plan that is synchronized with your strategy
  • Optimize the use of your testing resources
  • Define the strategic and scheduling components of a test plan

 

Our virtual workshops are highly interactive, web-based training experiences. We absolutely avoid the death by page-turning and the passive learning approach that is highly prevalent in most web-based training.
