Quality Assurance Training

This four weekend course is represented as preparing students to work as Software Quality Control Specialists (or equivalent job titles). The specialists in this field are responsible for finding defects (bugs) in computer software using manaul and automated test tools. Working in cooperation with programmers, Software Testers make their contribution in the quality of computer applications.

Highlight: This course covers numerous methods for revealing software defects, documenting and automating them using various tools such as Win Runner, Quality Center, QTP.
