Course Overview

Software testing is used to verify the working of the software application at various levels to identify the missing elements and errors in a project. It involves the implementation of a product’s module to evaluate its properties. Software tester professionals are responsible for intercepting risk, identifying bugs, conducting test analysis, and solving software-related problems.

In this Certified Software Testing Professional course, delegates will gain knowledge about principles of testing, bugs or faults, analysing tests, tools and techniques for software testing, managing testing, test harnesses, and simulators to emerge as skilled software testers. The delegates will learn new testing tools or methods and how to identify improvements to optimise quality and efficiency in the organisation.

An exam will need to finish by delegates to acquire this certification on the final afternoon of the course. Exam included in the course fee. By attending this training course, delegates will be capable in the implementation of software testing and will have an understanding of software testing’s methodologies and concepts.
