Advanced Test Design & Optimization Using Tools

2 days
AdvTstUsingTools - Version:1
Description
Many test engineers learn and get certified, but rarely use the test design techniques that they have been taught. I found it strange, but then realized that testers like to use tools, and if techniques were implemented via tools, they would have used them more.

Pairwise and Classification Trees are very good and efficient techniques for test design, prioritization of tests, and for saving time and money on performing the right tests first.

In this workshop, I shall present the techniques, and the tools (freeware) to exercise them in your projects right after the training.

Hands-on exercises will be performed throughout the workshop to exercise participants in using the techniques via the tools.
Intended audience
Testers, testing team leaders and test managers ,that would like to know these very efficient techniques and their practical implementation, and use free proven tools to implement the techniques.
