Acceptance Testing Workshop (ATW)
Duration: 2 days | Cost: P.O.A. | download brochure
This course is available as an in-house workshop for groups of 6-12. To enquire about training on your company's premises (in-house), please contact us.
When do we stop testing - when the test plan is finished or when we run out of time? There is never enough time to test everything. For business analysts and business users there is one overriding issue: testing functional requirements to ensure the system does what the business users want - and what they specified.
This extensive two day acceptance testing training workshop teaches business analysts and users to take responsibility for the quality of the system that they have specified, and that their colleagues will ultimately be using. Having signed off the business systems specification they must now test the systems to see if the end result of months or years of project effort are delivering the required results.
Using your projects specification as the case study, you will learn how to develop a best practice testing strategy and test plan which can be used on current and future projects. The workshop brings together business analysts, business users and testers - and gets everybody on the same page at the same time.
We use your company's business specifications and test plans as the course case study. Price of the course includes a pre-course interview with the instructor and customisation of the course around your company's documentation.

All IRM courses are practical workshops, led by instructors with real-world business analysis experience. Each workshop is oriented around a fully worked case study with an emphasis on practical work, both individually and in teams. Each delegate takes away a comprehensive course manual - much more than a collection of slides, the manual is a valuable guide for future reference and contains numerous checklists and templates.
One thing we guarantee - these are "roll your sleeves up" courses with an emphasis on doing, participation, interaction and learning.
ATW is learn by doing... practical, hands-on, intensive... and fun!
