Proactive Testing: Risk Based Test Planning, Design, and Automation

    

Summary:
Proactive Testing enables you to do more effective testing in less time, while also providing the value that overcomes traditional user, manager, and developer resistance to testing. By continually refocusing on the highest risks, and applying special techniques that spot many ordinarily-overlooked risks, Proactive Testing makes sure the most important testing is done in available time. Moreover, by catching more defects earlier when they are easier to fix, and actually preventing many showstoppers and other errors, Proactive Testing also can cut developers’ time, effort, and aggravation. This interactive workshop shows powerful proven Proactive structured test planning and design techniques that produce value, not busywork, and enable productive use of automated test tools. To enhance learning, participants practice each key technique in a series of exercises with various aspects of a real case fact situation.
