Senior Management Training in Software Testing

Senior Management Training in Software Testing - 1 day seminar

  This highly interactive session provides Senior Staff with an overview of the key elements of software quality and test and presents a summary of methodologies, key organizational considerations, and skill set recommendations for implementing or managing an effective software quality and test function. This course will help Senior Staff understand how to further reduce software system risks and costs by detecting defects in the phase in which they are introduced into the system and by formulating an action plan for implementing or improving their software quality and test function(s).



  SDT is available to provide you with comprehensive software test training and consulting services focused on a critical, and often times overlooked, area of testing - Management Training in Software Testing. SDT delivers only practical, proven software test and test leadership methods, which include specific guidance for Senior leaders on how to successfully build a quality and test organization, key roles, methodologies, activities, deliverables and accountabilities. Using SDT's unique methodology, SDT Senior software quality and testing consultants help Senior Leaders understand the critical elements of software quality and testing and how to better integrate, yet separate, these elements within your software engineering processes. SDT's 1-day "What Senior Leaders should know about Testing" course and consulting practices are based on Edward Kit's best selling book, Software Testing in the Real World...Improving the Process (Addison-Wesley). This text has been adopted as a company standard by such companies as Sun Microsystems, Chase Manhattan and Cadence Design Systems.



  The test leadership techniques used are not dependent on specific approaches and do not assume a particular type of test organization. SDT consultants utilize fundamental concepts of software quality and testing leadership and present a common language for communicating quality and test terminology.
