ACCEPTANCE TESTING WORKSHOP
Duration: 2 days | Price: On application
When do we stop testing – when the test plan is finished or when we run out of time? There is never enough time to test everything. For testers, business analysts and business users there is one overriding issue: acceptance testing functional requirements to ensure the system does what the business users want.
Using your projects specification as the case study, you will learn how to develop a best practice testing strategy and test plan which can be used on current and future projects. The workshop brings together business analysts, business users and testers – and gets everybody on the same page at the same time.
We use your company’s business specifications and test plans as the course case study. Price of the course includes a pre-course interview with the instructor and customisation of the course around your company’s documentation.
- business analysts responsible for writing acceptance criteria
