This training focuses on the software test process, from test requirements analysis to acceptance testing.

It supplies information about the test phases and established test methods.

You learn how to professionally plan, specify, execute, document and evaluate tests.

Besides covering the test process, this training gives an overview of the overall software development process and the relation and interaction between development and test, enhancing the mutual understanding between the two divisions.

Test engineers, test managers, software developers, software architects

Basic knowledge of a higher-level programming language (e.g. C/C++) .
