Fundamentals of Software Testing

This course provides the foundation for developing and using theory based practice in Software Testing (“manual” environment). Manual scripted testing is the oldest and most rigorous type of software testing. In this particular type of testing, test cases are designed and reviewed before executing them.
This detailed, practical, intensive workshop-style course will enable attendees to understand the core concepts and principles of testing; how to effectively derive effective and reliable test cases; comprehend test planning, execution, results and follow-up processes; learn about writing and tracking effective defect reports to get problems solved; manage the test environment; define major black-box test techniques. Some techniques, like equivalence class partitioning and boundary value analysis will be used defect reporting out on the samples of applications. Students complete 9 workshops and 27 hours of practicum, which give students the opportunity to gain or enhance their experience by using the skills they learned and provide experiences to develop the role of Software Test professional. Excellence in the course will require you to extend your critical thinking, writing, and team working skills. Upon completion, the student should understand basic software testing tasks and methodologies sufficiently to contribute meaningfully to the software testing effort within a software development organization. This course is for anyone currently involved in testing or about to move into a testing role. Many of the course tasks were designed to be realistic or impressive (to an employer) and to give you a chance to do professional-quality work that you can show off during a job interview. Finally, the work that you do in this course might help you land a job.

Software Test Automation using SilkTest

SilkTest is the leading functional testing software to automate the time consuming and labor intensive activity of manually testing Web, Java, .NET, Adobe-flash based, or traditional client/server-based applications.
You will learn to create and run test automation programs using the new “Open Agent” technology introduced in SilkTest 2009 version, as well as the older “Classic Agent”. We will primarily use SilkTest 2009 R2 version of the software. Instruction will also discuss the changes/improvements in the latest SilkTest 2010 version. In this class you will learn the methodology of automation testing; test script creation; designing test cases using high-level object-oriented language 4TEST, supporting custom objects, verification tools, and many other features. You will know how to execute SilkTest programs remotely; you will learn how to integrate Silktest-based GUI test automation programs with non-GUI based command-line programs (for example – Python or Perl based programs). By the conclusion you will know how to develop fully automated test suites for standard GUI and WEB based applications. Students will be supported by wide range of practical scripts and test cases to work independently on lab or home computers. Test applications will be also provided.

Software Test Automation using LoadRunner

LoadRunner is one of the most popular tools for testing performance of the applications. It has been always in a great demand in the market as the industry-standard load-testing tool. Recently, readers of the ColdFusion Developer’s Journal have named LoadRunner “Best Testing Tool."
Learn performance test methodology and planning. Study how to test your system under controlled and peak load conditions. Create automation scripts to simulate multiple Virtual Users (VU) that are distributed over a network. Analyze reports and graphs to evaluate the performance of your web application. Work with VU Generator, Controller, and Analysis.

Software Test Automation using QuickTest Pro

Mercury Interactive’s QuickTest Professional tool is new-generation, GUI-oriented, Internet/Intranet test automation tool and is taught for functional and regression testing at the client. QuickTest Pro provides a multifunctional solution for testing dynamically changing Web, Java, VB, ERP/CRM and multimedia content across environments. QuickTest Pro integrates with WinRunner, LoadRunner and TestDirector. Curriculum includes coverage of the foundations of software test automation as well as basic of VBScript and advanced techniques for efficient test scripts. Most of curriculum is provided by Mercury Interactive. SCAE is an authorized member of Mercury Interactive’s Academic Access Program.

Software Test Automation using Selenium IDE

An introduction to the popular open-source Selenium Integrated Development Environment (SIDE) used for automating the testing of web pages.
Topics covered will include: download and installation; user forums; record/replay; use of globbing and regular expressions within patterns; use of XPath and DOM expressions to locate page elements; test suite creation; the Selenium command set; the use of JavaScript snippets as arguments to Selenium commands; and the use of JavaScript within user extensions. The course will include weekly hands-on lab exercises. A longer project will be assigned during the last third of the course.
This course is a prerequisite to "Software Test Automation Using Selenium Remote Control (RC)."

Software Test Automation using Selenium RC with Java

An introduction to the popular open-source Selenium Remote Control (RC) tool used for automating the testing of web pages.
Selenium RC supports test development in six different high-level languages: C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby. Test development in Java will be covered in this course.
Topics covered will include: download and installation; user documentation and forums; Selenium-IDE's export functionality; RC server command-line options; the Java API (Application Programming Interface); creating and installing user extensions; error-handling; data-driven testing using a variety of input formats; and integration with testing frameworks.
The course will include weekly hands-on lab exercises.

Mobile Application Testing

This course is aimed towards testing professional and students who want to make their carrier to Mobile Software Testing and Quality Assurance. Mobile applications have never been more popular, they’ve also never been more difficult to produce. Today’s mobile app developers face a multitude of challenges due to the increased complexity of testing across different handsets, carriers, languages and locations.

Web Testing Techniques

Software testing is software testing, right? Not when it comes to testing Web applications. This course introduces the essential technologies, testing concepts, and techniques that are associated with browser-based applications. It offers advice pertaining to the software testing of various Web applications. The students will be introduced to a foundation of Web system architecture and technologies; they will get knowledge of Web-specific test concepts, testing practices and methodologies, and test types that can be applied to Web testing, and much, much more.
This course is intended for beginner or intermediate testers who want to develop a working knowledge of Web software testing methodology. Attendees should have a basic familiarity with testing principles in theory and in practice.
