Quality Assurance & Software Testing (QAST) Program
The Software Quality Assurance Professional program will introduce the participant to the theories and practices of application testing. Students will be introduced to the overall process of creating an application from conception to completion. They will gain an understanding of the various functions and methodologies that are employed during application development. During the program, students will learn how to manage, create, and execute tests and defects within the process of application development.
6 Modules
Module 1 : Life Cycles in Application Development
The Life Cycle in Application Development module will teach the theoretical aspects of the various life cycles that are used in developing software. Students will learn about the project, application, and release lifecycles. In addition, they will gain knowledge of methodologies used in the Software Development Lifecycle.
Module 2 : Quality Control and Assurance
Learn the roles, responsibilities, and duties of a software quality control professional and understand the Testing Lifecycle while analyzing application requirements and creating test artifacts. Gain in-depth working knowledge of Process and Product Evaluation, Manual Vs. Automation, Software Testing, and its components and features, STLC, Testing Types, and Traceability Matrix.
Module 3 : Test and Defect Management
The Test & Defect Management module will teach students usage of Quality Center and JIRA to create and manage activities related to software testing. Students will learn to use Quality Center (QC), including the administrator’s role, how to manage requirements, and how to manage and execute testing along with tracking and reporting defects. Finally, students will spend time using JIRA, exploring issue management, and project workflows.
Module 4 : Unix
Basic introduction to Unix and Unix features. Manipulate files and folders, and create directories using key Unix commands such as diff, echo, sudo etc.
Module 5 : Databases and SQL
The Databases & Structured Query Language (SQL) module will teach students databases and database management systems using SQL. The module will teach students how to create, update, and delete database objects such as tables and views. Students will also learn to develop SQL queries to fetch and filter data from one or more database objects.
Module 6 : Unified Functional Testing (UFT)
The Unified Functional Testing (UFT) module will teach students the fundamental process of test automation. Students will learn to automate and execute tests using UFT and Visual Basic (VB) Scripts. Additionally, students will explore how to drive data and the role of object repositories in the automation testing process. Finally, the module will cover tips and tricks that students can implement to help the process run smoothly.
