Testing for Software Developers

Overview

Failures of software systems are occurring more frequently and are having more dramatic impact. This is due to software systems becoming larger and more complex, and the increasing vulnerability of organisations upon their software systems, as emphasised by recent public failures of web systems.

The Standish group estimates that approximately $140 Billion is spent on dealing with software failures annually. Defects in software systems can not only lead to direct losses for the organisation, due to incorrect operation and resulting damages, but can have other significant losses in terms of indirect losses, such as high cost for correction and maintenance, delayed schedules, and time to market. Testing is traditionally seen as an activity that is best undertaken by independent testers.

However even with independent testers many defects are just not found, are found too late, or are just too difficult to test thoroughly in a completely integrated system. The days of handing the system over the wall for testing are numbered, and testing must be done cooperatively by both testers and the developers themselves to build the system faster, cheaper and more reliable.

This 2-day course focuses on the essential testing issues that every developer should be aware of. It discusses the processes required, and the techniques and tools that can be used to build better software.
