Just in Time Testing
Overview
Getting ready for almost anything
Gain the skills you need to succeed in your testing arena, where requirements aren’t always available, crystal clear and frozen for the duration of the project.
You will also receive a CD with valuable resources and handy tools
Dealing with I.T. turbulence
Turbulent development projects experience requirements change almost daily. How do you keep your testing effort on track whilst reacting to fast-changing priorities, technologies, and user needs? This interactive two-day MasterClass, run by Robert Sabourin, provides you with effective skills to manage and track software testing in chaotic environments. You will learn how practical and dynamic test planning can be implemented in different contexts, using a blend of exploratory, scripted, automated and performance test techniques.
Robert focuses on techniques applied to real projects; the approaches have been proven with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications as well as in Agile, Iterative and Waterfall development environments. Real examples demonstrate how JIT testing either replaces or complements more traditional approaches. Examples are drawn from a variety of industry sectors including insurance, medical, banking and telecommunications.

This MasterClass is for anyone who works in fast-paced development environments. This group includes, but is not limited to test analysts, test managers, quality analysts and developers.
Prerequisites
None
Learning outcomes
After this course you will be able to:
- Conduct testing “triage” to find the important bugs first
- Plan and schedule testing in a dynamic, unpredictable world
- Put into practice session-based exploratory testing to find showstoppers and change the way you test
- Blend exploratory, scripted and automated testing
- Keep things simple
Content
This MasterClass is packed with time-boxed exercises in which students work together in small groups to apply the JIT testing concepts. The following topics will be covered:
Introduction
Basics
Testing Just in Time
