Testing Service-Oriented Architectures
Our Price: $399.00

This course teaches the unique considerations for testing Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). Because of the focus on support of the business or organization, the emphasis in this course is placed on business-oriented black-box and gray-box testing, although other views of testing are also covered, such as integration and interoperability testing, security testing and performance testing. This course also covers the technical details of web services and how to use tools to test them. You will start by learning the basics of SOAs and then learn how to create a testing strategy for your own SOA implementations. Then, you will learn effective processes and techniques for implementing detailed SOA tests. This course contains 6.3 hours of recorded narration and over 4 hours of recommended exercises.
Testing Commercial Off-the-shelf Software Applications
Our Price: $299.00

"COTS" is a term used to describe "commercial off-the-shelf" software. COTS applications are becoming increasingly more popular for solving mission and business objectives because the development effort is performed by the vendor of the product instead of a customer's internal staff. However, the customer and users of the product have a huge responsibility to ensure that the application will work correctly in the operational environment after it is integrated. This course is designed to teach the process of planning, performing and evaluating the tests of COTS applications in a way that customers can easily learn and apply.

COTS applications can be seen in single standalone implementations or integrated with other applications to form a COTS-based implementation. Some of the challenges this course will address are:

   * How to design tests for an application that does not have defined requirements available
   * How to design tests that validate the support of the organization’s mission processes
   * How to evaluate the completeness of the testing effort in terms of test coverage
   * How to estimate the testing effort if you don’t have time to count function points or lines of code
   * How to test the integration of a COTS application with other COTS or in-house products, including the "glue" that an organization develops for custom integration efforts
   * How to test COTS customization and vendor extensions
   * How to test user manuals and operating procedures provided by the vendor
   * How to design tests that can deal with future product versions

Return on Investment

   * Find gaps in support of your operational processes by COTS application.
   * Have an increased level of confidence in your new COTS application before it is implemented for production use.
   * Validate that the vendor has fulfilled delivery requirements.
   * Add a new perspective of testing knowledge to your existing skill set.
   * Learn how to design tests that adequately cover requirements and business events.
   * Advance your career by reinforcing your testing expertise.

Who Will Benefit

   * Test Managers
   * Test Team Leaders
   * Test Engineers
   * Test Designers and Analysts
   * Testers
   * End-users
   * Software Developers

To get the most from this course, attendees should have a basic level of computer literacy and have the ability to adapt general processes to their own specific applications. Prior testing experience and skills are helpful, but not required for this course.
