Description

In this Proactive Testing^™ online training course we will look at how testing takes about half of most software projects but traditional reactive techniques still fail to catch many defects that cause overruns and reduce user value. This training teaches you how to use a better approach, Proactive Testing^™, which finds numerous ordinarily-overlooked defects earlier, when they are easier and cheaper to fix, thereby enabling developers to actually deliver software quicker, cheaper, and better.

Once you have completed the Proactive Testing™ Risk-Based Planning—Cut Software Overruns the next course in this series is Proactive Testing™ Reusable Design-More and Better Tests Quicker. This Proactive Testing^™ course will discuss how to apply test design techniques that give confidence the software works.  You will learn how to develop reusable test designs that economically leverage multiple individual test cases and apply reusable test designs that instantly create effective tests.  Click here to learn more about Proactive Testing™ Reusable Design-More and Better Tests Quicker.
