This course, with its large number of practical exercises and practice examination questions, fully prepares attendees for the ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst examination.

SQS's Foundation Certificate in Software Testing is based upon the foundation level syllabus published by the International Software Quality Testing Board (ISTQB®) and offers an internationally recognised qualification in software testing.

This course leads to the ISEB Intermediate Certificate in Software Testing examination which provides essential knowledge and skills for both test analysts and test managers and a useful bridge between the Foundation and Advanced certifications.

This tutorial introduces the key principles of agile development. We illustrate why agile projects present a radical shift from traditional project plans and divisions of labour, and why this requires a complete rethink of the way software is tested.

This course looks at the nature of performance testing, the challenges surrounding it and how to overcome them to make the testing more effective. We focus on what performance testing really is, how it should be carried out and how it should be managed.

This unique course builds on the principals taught on the SQS course Fundamentals of Performance Testing, and will give attendees a deep appreciation of how to implement real life performance testing.

This course aims to give practical experience in planning, designing and implementing tests for system testing and acceptance testing. Attendees of this course will be taken through a typical development life cycle and test process.

With an emphasis on putting theory into practice, this course is highly practical. Attendees will validate business requirements, extract test conditions, design test cases using the various design techniques and produce test procedures using case studies.

The course focuses on testing activities that are advised for developers with a focus on doing these tasks in a systematic, efficient and effective manner. The course focuses on 2 different life cycle models, the V model and a generic agile methodology.

This course introduces the concept of software test automation to anyone introducing automation software into their test environment. The course will provide a stable platform from which to start the automation journey.

This course is aimed at those using, or planning to use, varieties of test execution tools and who wish to ensure that they have hands on knowledge of how to produce automation suites that really work in the real world.

This course builds on the principles in the ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level to give practical experience in analysing, designing and implementing tests and look at creating functional test cases for each phase in the software testing life cycle.

Why do we test software? What is software testing? What are the key terms & principles of software testing? This course addresses the key issues for those new to software testing or who are going to be involved with software testing.

This tutorial enables students to apply TDD practices to steer their projects with acceptance tests at the level of requirements and user stories. We enable students to translate business requirements into user stories supported by automated acceptance tests.

This two day course explores the similarities and the differences found in diverse software based projects and provides the test manager with practical guidance in the choice of a suitable strategy. The burning question is "What strategy should I choose?"

Any deviations in requirements inevitably lead to redevelopment costs and delays in implementation. This workshop will outline how effective Requirements Testing can influence development in the early stages and prevent many errors from occurring at all.

This workshop will help you with more accurate test estimation by covering the seven methods of estimation and the positives and negatives for each method based on the experience SQS has gained over the years working in many industries.
