1. Software Testing Methodologies:

   • Participants will gain a deep understanding of various software testing methodologies, such as:
     • Black Box Testing: Testing based solely on software requirements and functionality, without knowledge of the internal code structure.
     • White Box Testing: Testing based on an understanding of the internal logic and structure of the software’s code.
     • Grey Box Testing: Combining elements of both black box and white box testing to gain a broader perspective on testing scenarios.

2. Test Case Development and Execution:

   • The training emphasizes the importance of developing comprehensive test cases that cover various scenarios and edge cases. Participants will learn how to:
     • Identify test scenarios based on requirements and user stories.
     • Write clear and detailed test cases that include preconditions, steps, expected results, and postconditions.
     • Execute test cases manually or using automation tools to validate software functionality.

3. Defect Reporting and Management:

   • Effective defect reporting is crucial in software testing. Participants will learn how to:
     • Identify and classify defects based on severity and impact on the software.
     • Document defects using industry-standard defect tracking tools like JIRA, Bugzilla, or others.
     • Work collaboratively with development teams to reproduce and resolve defects efficiently.

4. Industry-Standard Tools and Techniques:

   • The training covers the use of popular software testing tools and techniques, including:
     • Automation Testing Tools: Such as Selenium WebDriver for web application testing or Appium for mobile application testing.
     • Performance Testing Tools: Like JMeter for load testing or Gatling for stress testing.
     • Test Management Tools: Such as TestRail or HP ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) for test planning, execution, and reporting.

5. Agile and DevOps Testing Practices:

   • With the increasing adoption of Agile methodologies and DevOps practices, the training ensures participants understand:
     • Agile Testing: Integrating testing activities within Agile development cycles, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and sprint reviews.
     • DevOps Testing: Implementing continuous testing within DevOps pipelines to ensure rapid and reliable software delivery.

6. Hands-On Practical Experience:

   • Practical sessions and hands-on exercises are integral to the training. Participants will engage in:
     • Mock Projects: Simulating real-world testing scenarios to apply learned concepts.
     • Lab Sessions: Using testing tools and environments to gain practical experience in executing tests and analyzing results.
     • Case Studies: Analyzing case studies of successful testing strategies and practices implemented in industry projects.

7. Latest Trends and Best Practices:

   • Staying updated with the latest trends and best practices in software testing is crucial. The training covers:
     • Shift-Left Testing: Testing early in the development lifecycle to identify and prevent defects before they propagate.
     • AI/ML in Testing: Exploring how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are transforming testing processes, such as test case generation and predictive defect analysis.
