Requirement-Based Testing

(CSTP #5) or (CTM Elective)

This tutorial covers area 5 of the Certified Software Test Professional requirements. This tutorial also covers the Elective area of the Test Management Body of Knowledge (TMBOK) required for the Certified Test Manager (CTM) certification.

Concepts

This one-day course is essential for test and quality professionals, requirement engineers, business and system analysts and everyone who is involved in writing, validating and testing requirements. It covers details on how to document different types of requirements in a form that is testable. The course adopts a model-driven requirement process. It is based on the instructor's philosophy of using models to assure completeness, correctness, testability, and precession of requirements. The course will also discuss the elements of requirement management process.
