Skills Development Training
Basic Principles of Software Testing
Duration: 3-days
Attendees will receive the necessary background and introduction to the basic principles for successful software testing.
This course will take the attendees from their own frame of reference about testing in their everyday living to examples of testing complex software systems in various industries.
At the end of this course, the attendees will understand all testing terms, know all the fundamental principles of testing and will be able to apply the key testing processes e.g. designing high-quality tests, execution of test scenarios, logging of incidents and Incident management. The attendees will understand the importance of test management and the risk to the lack of it.
Practical Test Analyst
Duration: 3-days
This course is specifically designed to provide testing resources with sufficient practical experiences that are industry related.
The course is structured in such a way that it allows interactive class discussions on real–life testing situations experienced on a day-to-day basis. The course delegate and the company will benefit from this course, as standard methodologies and artifacts are reviewed and compared with the delegate’s own working environment.
Taking this into consideration, the delegate will be sufficiently equipped to improve not only their own but also the company’s operational methodologies, testware and test deliverables.
Testing for Business Analysts
Duration: 2-days
If the Business Analyst compiles a specification document, with a focus on quality, huge cost savings can be achieved during the software development project. Benefits will include, an increase in productivity as well as in development and testing time. This will have a positive impact on successfully meeting the project delivery date.
Business Analysts are highly involved in both User Acceptance Testing and System Testing. It is there for imperative that they understand how to apply effective testing techniques for creating UAT test cases and how to participate in System Testing.
Business Analyst and Quality
Duration: 1 day
There is a global trend of preventing defects rather than finding defects. The benefit of preventing defects is huge cost savings, production improvement of both the developing as well as testing activities, and the successful achievement of project timelines.
Quality begins during the inception phase of a project and the Business Analyst plays a very important role in defining high-quality requirements for a software product. By defining thorough functional and non–functional requirements by the Business Analyst will prevent misinterpretations and ambiguities later in the development life cycle.

At the end of the training course, the attendees will be able to understand and review business and technology drivers for mobile apps in order to create a test strategy. Identify and understand the key challenges, risks and expectations associated with testing a mobile application. Apply test types and levels specific to mobile applications. Apply common test types, such as those mentioned in ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level
syllabus 2018, in the mobile-specific context. Carry out the activities required specifically for mobile application testing as part of the main activities of the ISTQB® test process. Identify and use suitable environments and appropriate tools for mobile application testing. Understand methods and tools specifically to support mobile application test automation.
ISTQB Usability Testing
Duration: 2-days
This course is designed to teach participants the essentials of usability and how to effectively evaluate usability, user experience, and accessibility. You will learn how to plan and prepare for usability testing and select the most appropriate testing location and participants. After understanding the application of usability reviews, testing and surveys you will be able to propose the most effective usability testing approach.
At the end of the training course, the attendees will be able to understand the basic concepts of usability and usability testing. Identify and classify the severity of usability risks and potential accessibility violations in a given product at any stage of a development cycle. Cite relevant standards for usability, user experience, and accessibility and verify their implementation in a given product. Set up procedures so that stated usability, user experience and accessibility goals may be verified in practice for a given product. Design and monitor the implementation of a test plan for achieving stated usability, user experience and accessibility goals. Explain the rationale, process and results of usability, user experience and accessibility evaluations to non-specialist stakeholders.
