"Just in Time Testing" - A Software Testing Bootcamp by Robert Sabourin

Just in Time Testing

After having Robert Sabourin conduct so many webinars and workshops with us. We bring to you Just in Time Testing Bootcamp by Robert Sabourin. This topic is Robert's field of play and be rest assured you'll  make a great decision which in most probabilities will change your life for good. 

Overview:

Just-in-Time (JIT) Testing: Workflow, organization and ‘getting things done’ is a highly interactive learning experience that provides you with effective techniques to implement software testing in chaotic environments. You will learn how practical dynamic test planning and scheduling along with exploratory, scripted, automated and performance testing can be successfully and systematically implemented in many different contexts.

This course focuses on real techniques applied to real projects; the approaches discussed have been applied to many different software projects. Agile, Iterative or Waterfall development environments have all benefited from JIT testing to help get things done. Companies purchasing commercial off the shelf (COTS) applications have tested with JIT Testing techniques.

Real examples demonstrate how JIT testing either replaces or complements more traditional approaches. Numerous examples are drawn from industry sectors such as insurance, banking, telecommunications and medical.

Learning topics include test planning and organization techniques, how to focus testing, exploratory testing, tracking, scheduling, and triage.

• Intended Audience - This course is intended for anyone who works in fast-paced development environments, including test analysts, test managers, software developers and all software managers.  Learning Objectives 

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Test turbulent projects that have changing, few, or no written requirements

• Generate a wide variety of relevant in scope test ideas

• Conduct testing “triage” to focus on important bugs faster

• Learn to plan and implement testing in a dynamic, unpredictable world

• Practise session-based testing

• Find important bugs quickly

• Adapt testing based on what you learn

• Gain the confidence you need to succeed

• Learn to blend exploratory, scripted, and automated testing
