Course Summary
If you have to take the lead in testing, these classes are for you. Test management activities happen whether there is a manager responsible or not and this class will focus on the things that are part of every test approach. Paul Gerrard takes a no-nonsense, logistics-free approach to expose the universal principles of modelling and coverage, how much testing is enough, the need for planning, the what and why of documentation, the use of tools, and so on.
There are sixteen modules created from weekly LIVE webinars. Each webinar was presented as a KEYNOTE ADDRESS. The webinar recordings have been edited into multiple lessons to make them more digestible. There are between five and nine lessons plus Q&A and an associated paper (2.5-3.5k words) for each module.
