Course Overview

Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product or 

application does what it is supposed to do. The benefits of testing include preventing bugs, 

reducing development costs and improving performance. Software testing can also provide an 

objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and 

understand the risks of software implementation. Test techniques include, but not 

necessarily limited to:

•  analyzing the product requirements for completeness and correctness in various contexts like industry perspective, business perspective, feasibility and viability of implementation, usability, performance, security, infrastructure considerations, etc.
•  reviewing the product architecture and the overall design of the product
•  working with product developers on improvement in coding techniques, design patterns, tests that can be written as part of code based on various techniques like boundary conditions, etc.
•  executing a program or application with the intent of examining behavior
•  reviewing the deployment infrastructure and associated scripts & automation
•  take part in production activities by using monitoring & observability techniquesThe course aims at utilizing fully the capabilities of the free and open source software. In the training 30% will be theoretical and 70% will be hands-on training
