COURSE OBJECTIVE:
WorkshopRisk is key to managing and scheduling testing, so by the end of the day delegates should:
• understand that risk is fundamental to managing all testing on a project;
• be familiar with the three basic steps in risk management;
• understand how risk identification, analysis and mitigation are used to determine and prioritise the testing at the individual component level and for the testing for a complete project.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The workshop is principally aimed at test practitioners who are actively involved in software testing, and who want to ensure that they are fully aware of current best industry practices.
This includes people in roles such as testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers and software developers. This workshop is also appropriate for non-testers who want a deeper understanding of software testing, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts and management consultants.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
There are no formal entry requirements for this workshop, although prior experience of working on IT projects is certainly beneficial, either as testers, or in a development or management role.
The workshop is intended as an introduction to best practices for those new to risk-based testing and as a refresher for more
experienced test professionals to the current state of industry thinking.
