    Take your opportunity to get training created by experts in the field. Make 2018 your best Quality Assurance year by being prepared and ready for whatever might come your way in terms of Software Testing or Quality Assurance.

    Quality Assurance is not just a solution to a technical software problem. It is a consideration for the entire business. Software Quality Assurance failures impact the entire business and can lead to large problems if not addressed.

    Training testers using NVP supplied courses provides testers with the techniques, tools, and knowledge to select the best method for testing – not the one that has been used for the last 15 years that’s falling short!

    When you work with an experienced software testing trainer you benefit by:

    • Creating more valuable employees that pays back more than investments
      in any test tool!
    • Getting real value from testing
    • Enhancing speed, accuracy and results from your testing processes
    • Seeing larger profits

    Quality assurance training is a great way to help ensure your systems are working for you while supporting and contributing to the growth of your company.

  • So you want to be a software tester?

     

    So you want to be a software tester and don’t know how to start.

    There are plenty of ways to become a software tester and we’ve talked to a number of people curious about how to break into the field. If you ask current testers what their background is here are some answers you may get: (more…)

  • Stress Testing

    Stress Testing

    Think of stress testing in software testing as the confirmation that any sudden increase in transactions per unit time can be accommodated by the program being tested and won’t cause the program to stop working or degrade its operation in any manner. i.e. a short sharp peak. (more…)

  • Volume Testing

    Volume Testing

    Volume testing confirms that any values that may become large over time (such as accumulated counts, logs, and data files) can be accommodated by the program and won’t cause the program to stop working or degrade its operation in any manner.
    Risk if not completed – It may not be possible to operate the complete system with all data in place if the volume of expected records is not checked during testing and verified to work correctly and completely. (more…)

  • Negative Testing

    Negative Testing

    In many software testing scenarios, testers can use positive testing and/ or negative testing methods. Positive testing means that the item being tested reacts as expected when the expected input is entered. Negative testing typically means that the system can handle invalid input or unexpected user behaviour. However, if the system responds by rejecting the data and providing an error message, that is what was actually expected, meaning that was positive testing rather than negative testing. (more…)

  • The Results of Software Tester Training

    Software tester training seems to be something that needs a lot more attention, given how many conversations we’ve had on this topic. A few weeks ago we talked about How We Train Software Testers? We get a surprising number of questions about software tester training and plans, and we now want to touch on the results of software tester training.
