Content of CourseWare

Complete CourseWare is divided into sections.

First section, FUNDAMENTAL TESTING, focuses on testing definition, why do we need testing, types of testing, testing methods, what are the causes of bugs, bug life cycle, bugs content, manual and automation testing, SQA (Software Quality Analyst, Software Quality Assurance), Quality Control, Testing techniques covering WBT, BBT, Gray Box testing and other testing concepts like Reviews, Walkthroughs, Inspection, Verification and Validation.

Second section, QUALITY CONCEPT, In this section, we tried to focus on Quality. Software quality is the “Conformance to explicit stated functional and performance requirements, explicitly documented development standards, and implicit characteristics that are expected of all professionally developed software.

Two kinds of quality may be encountered: Quality of design and quality of conformance. Quality of design refers to the characteristics that designers specify for an item. Quality of conformance is the degree to which the design specifications are followed during manufacturing.

This section also focuses on various quality standards like CMM, CMMI, ISO

Third section, STLC,
STLC is also known as Software Testing Life Cycle. Software testing life cycle identifies what test activities to carry out and when (what is the best time) to accomplish those test activities. This topic will be covered in this section along with example, deliverables that are outcomes of the various phases of testing life cycle.

This will also cover various testing approaches that are followed in software testing.

Fourth section is AUTOMATION TESTING:
Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting functions. This topic will be covered in this section along with Test Tool Categories and various testing frameworks.

Fifth section, SDLC covers software development life cycle (SDLC), phases of SDLC, various matrix that are prepared in different phases and various SDLC models
This section also co-relates the various types of testing performed in different phases of Software Development Life Cycle.

Sixth section, RISK & PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
This section covers an overview of risk and project, how to manage risk, steps that are followed to manage risk. It also covers the management of project detailing the concept from project initiation phase to completion of the project.


Guys, don't worry if u can't find everything, its under progress and will soon be available for all of us.
