Course Overview
Many engineering graduates do not get an opportunity to study about Software Testing as part of their curriculum. As a result, such graduates may find it very difficult to start their career as test engineers in the software industry. Also, many corporates do not have any program to train the engineers on software testing before deploying them to the projects. The consequence of this is that the software product that is delivered to the customers may not be completely bug free. Even if the corporates want to improve the quality of the products before their delivery, the development life cycle may get stretched significantly because of the inadequate expertise level of test engineers. Moreover, the testing job requires a different mindset from the test engineers along with the domain knowledge. So, the testing personnel need to be well equipped with the fundamentals and principles of software testing as well as the domain knowledge in order to be successful in their career and do justice to their role. This Software Test Management for Telecom Applications Training is intended to prepare the fresh graduates as well as the senior engineers who are first timers in software testing to take up the testing responsibilities confidently and eventually succeed as test engineers. Though the course has been designed for the telecom professionals it has all the necessary details required by the professionals working in any other technical domains.
