Advanced Concepts of Testing Training Session | Professional Development Program - QA InfoTech

Under QA InfoTech’s Professional Development Program (PDP) that aims to upskill and reskill its software testing workforce the next training session was conducted on the advanced concepts of testing that can be applied at various levels.

Ramandeep Sing, Associate Vice President – Test Automation and Research Lab, under the leadership of Minesh Upadhyaya, COO conducted the session for QA InfoTech’s test engineers.

A Brief About This Session

In the era of increasing automation and changing business priorities, more organisations are moving to continuous delivery. Organisations need to cut short testing cycles and reduce the number of bugs that slip through. More systems to tests mean more deployment with more interfaces where bugs can creep in. Thus, the requirement, at both micro and macro level, of building a robust system arises.

The various tools and techniques available support the system, however, cannot match the realistic testing methods and the effect it has on the result. This desired result can only be achieved by simulating the world around this system.

Simulation tools are simply software or programs that mimic real-time scenarios. This allows to create and build a website or application which functions almost exactly like the real product without coding. Along with a perfectly functional and user-friendly website, making it beautiful at the same time is difficult, though important. Various designing tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign can be integrated with simulator tools to build visual mock-ups, giving an overall look of the end product.

This training, by Ramandeep, was a revision of the earlier sessions on tools and techniques that were explained in the manual and functional testing training. Ramandeep, with his 15 years of professional experience, shared the various types of tools and ways to test that expedite simulation in the real world. Simulation testing helps engineers to understand the end product usage by creating an illusion of activities, with realism being the key.
