User Acceptance Testing Training Course
This two day User Acceptance Testing course will give core testing skills to users who have to accept a system, and are about to start the testing.
Skills Developed
Skills are built by using a consistent case study throughout the course with practical sessions in:
- Understanding requirements.
- Reviewing requirements documents.
- Creating acceptance criteria.
- Creating test cases.
- Understanding test procedures.
- Running tests against the application.
- Analysing the results of the tests.
- Classifying test results.
- Determining whether the system can be accepted.
Each participant is given the use of a Palm computer with a full keyboard for running the tests. Most of these exercises occur on the second day of the course.
Upon completion of the course attendees leave with a complete set of session notes, example answers to the case study for future reference, and an attendance certificate.
