A – Introduction – Software Testing basics

Overview of Testing

  • Explain the basics of testing
  • Describe the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
  • Provide an overview of several SDLC models
  • Describe and apply the available types of testing
  • Define White box and Black box testing techniques

Requirements and Testing

  • Explore the topic of business requirements
  • Build tests to cover requirements
  • Describe the methodology behind building test rules and test cases

Test Execution

B – QuickTest Professional Training

OVERVIEW

This core course provides a comprehensive understanding of using QuickTest Professional as an automated functional testing tool for different environments. You will use QuickTest Professional’s graphical point and click interface to record and play back tests, add synchronization points and verification steps, and create multiple action tests. You will build upon fundamental topics by using debug  tools to troubleshoot tests and use additional checkpoints and product options to broaden the scope of  business processes that can be automated. Once tests are created, you will discover and correct common  record and play back problems. All topics are supported by hands-on exercises based on real-life examples.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Create basic scripts from a manual test case.
  • Enhance basic tests with synchronization and verification.
  • Parameterize tests to run with multiple sets of data.
  • Create and reuse modular actions.
  • Use the Object Repository.
  • Use debugging tools.
  • Use custom checkpoints to create more precise verification points within a test.
  • Use the Object Repository Manager.
  • Describe and use virtual objects.
  • Resolve object recognition problems.

C – LoadRunner Training

OVERVIEW

LoadRunner is an automated load testing tool that allows you to test your application before, during, and after deployment. This course is designed to give you a firm foundation in basic load testing tasks. The LoadRunner Controller and Analysis will be covered in this course. You will create and run load test scenarios using the Controller. The Analysis is used to analyze load test results. You will learn to work with the graphs to display data after a test is run.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

  • Quality assurance engineers
  • Performance Engineers
  • New users of LoadRunner who need to load test their applications and/or executives who will be involved in any part of load testing.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, you should be able to:

  • Identify information that needs to be gathered for load testing.
  • Identify the components of LoadRunner.
  • Apply the workflow recommended for creating a basic LoadRunner scenario.
  • Assign scripts, run-time settings, performance monitors, load generators and Vusers to a LoadRunner scenario based on your load testing goals.
  • Load test your application by running a scenario.
