When a new product enters the testing phase, most quality assurance teams have to work within extremely specific confines. Time, tools, staff, and experience all factor into how a given team can approach the testing of a product—doing so both thoroughly and effectively. In this course, instructor Mike Fine demonstrates the why and how of basic product testing and offers a variety of practical strategies that testers can use to deliver projects in a timely, effective manner. By the end of this course, you’ll have a better grasp of the role of a test plan, how different strategies play into product development, and how to use a wide range of different approaches to build a new or augment an existing testing program.
