The course focus is on the testing aspects of the following practices:

* Use Case Essentials

* Architecture Essentials

* Component Essentials

* Iterative Essentials Upon completion of the course, delegates will understand:

* How to test software based on requirements modeled as use cases

* How to derive test cases from use cases

* The different types, levels, purposes of testing

* The principles of architecture and component tests

* Which tests to do when

* The iterative lifecycle of testing

* The required skills of the tester

* How to plan and track testing

* That test cases derived from use cases can be used in different type of test
