Test automation is a difficult, but vital, part of today's development landscape. This class provides the tools and expertise you need to write great tests at the unit, package, and integration level, as well as addressing the human elements as well. Knowing how to write tests goes hand-in-hand with selling automated testing to your manager and coworkers. We'll discuss introducing change, effective test introduction techniques, and more.
A solid testing effort shortens the debugging cycle for developers, frees up interactive testers for more advanced testing, and prevents bug regressions from derailing your project. We'll help you keep your testing effort on course with this interactive three-day course. We'll discuss and use the latest tools available.
