Test Management Introduction
Description
The course introduces concepts such as software quality and software development quality. You will learn about the relationship between testing and quality and about issues related to process and testing quality. This course will also talk about the role of risk management. It will show participants the importance of risks in testing, the relationship between risks and requirements, risks and priorities as well as risks and defects.
Our Test Management course covers the test lifecycle including test planning, preparation and running, as well as test results evaluation and software release readiness. We will describe the main activities and artifacts of testing, activity distribution by roles and project phases, test management, planning and control as well as phase completion criteria.
Last but not least participants will get an insight into the types of interactions between the test manager and project manager and the most important metrics for software defects, their application in test processes and test result evaluation.
