Test Execution & Defect Reporting

After the completion of the course, the participants would be able to: understand the test environment, its components; understand the process of test execution; understand what is defects, its life cycle, and management of defects; and understand how to report the test results and generate various types of test reports.

The course is a mix of case-driven, instructor-led, and self-paced learning, designed to enable participants learn, experiment and implement the concepts involving effective ways of writing test-cases. The participants will be presented with ample examples, exercises and case studies to understand and apply the concepts taught.
