Programming and Databases for Testers Training Course
Understand the technology
Unless you are a programmer by trade, programming may be a confusing discipline with terminology that is baffling, at best. This course is designed to introduce the tester and quality assurance professional to programming concepts. We will discuss how programming relates to quality and what we need to know to be effective testers. Terminology is the most difficult hurdle in understanding the programming world, so we will cover terms and their uses, and we will provide you with enough information to be able to participate in technical discussions effectively. As each programming concept is investigated, particular note will be made of how this information affects us as testers. You will become a better-informed tester who can talk the talk and feel less confused in a technical review.
Knowledge is power and the data is what creates the knowledge. We need to know how to store it and how to retrieve it in order to be effective in testing the data flow through a system. In this section we will discuss what a database is, why it is used and how to use it. A significant amount of time will be spent discussing SQL and walking through examples. SQL can be a major tool for verifying the data that you are processing during testing. Throughout this course we'll look at database design issues and how they affect the testing requirements.
