Business Requirements Gathering and Testing -

Two Crucial Project Phases

  

2-Day course:

Monday, May 18th and Tuesday May 19th.

 

Whether you are implementing a brand new system, large or small, or adding enhancements to your current system, two critical parts of your project are Requirements Gathering and Testing. These phases of a project are time-consuming, expensive and often poorly executed. In this two day CS Week College course, we will help you understand testing and the role it plays in any project. The Test Presentation will focus on the different types of tests and when to use each, the aspects of setting up and maintaining a test environment, test case organization development and reporting results of your testing. Additional topics include implementing risk-based testing when you don’t have enough time for a full-blown test and how to choose effective testers.

 

After you have learned the basics of testing, our presenters will discuss how properly developing business requirements at the beginning of a project can help to make your testing successful. Over half of all defects arise during the requirements phase of a project but we don’t find them until the testing phase of the project or even in production. There are eight best practices that can be added to any requirements methodology that will bring down the rate of defects dramatically, including involving testers in the requirements process. Learn these eight best practices and start improving your requirements and project results immediately.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the five different types of tests and when to use each;

  • Understand what goes into building a test environment and how to productively manage your environment during testing;

  • Learn a structured approach to developing test cases which will define what you plan to test;

  • Obtain tips on reporting and measuring the progress and results of your testing;

  • Learn strategies to adopt when there isn’t enough time to test thoroughly;

  • Learn how to identify who would make a good tester;

  • Learn the eight best practices for gathering, analyzing and writing testable requirements.
