COURSE DESCRIPTION:This Advanced Level Course builds on the knowledge
and skills acquired at the Foundation Level. In this Course, you will
learn the appropriate Test Analyst analysis and design tasks for
different lifecycle models. You will also learn when it is most
appropriate to use low and high-level test cases, and the steps and
considerations necessary when executing tests. The Course allows you
to participate in Risk Management activities and analyze a
specification to determine types of defects. It also enables you to
analyze defect taxonomy for applicability in a given situation and
specify test cases using a range of specification-based testing
techniques. You will learn to analyze a use case/user interface and a
Requirements specification/user story, and identify problems using the
checklist.

LEARNING GOALS:
● Analyze a given scenario, including a project description
and lifecycle model, to determine appropriate tasks for the Test
Analyst during the analysis and design phases.
● Analyze a project scenario to determine the most
appropriate use of low-level (concrete) and high-level (logical) test
cases.
● Determine the steps and considerations to be taken for a
given scenario when executing tests.
● Participate in Risk identification, perform Risk
Assesment, and propose appropriate Risk mitigation for a given project
situation.
● Write test cases for a given specification item applying
the equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table,
state transition, pairwise test, classification tree, use case, and
domain analysis test design techniques to achieve defined levels of
coverage.
● Analyze a system, or its Requirement specification, to
determine types of defects to be found and select the appropriate
specification-based technique(s).
● Analyze the given defect taxonomy for applicability in a
given situation using the criteria of a good taxonomy.
● Specify exploratory tests and explain how to report the
results for a given scenario.
● Determine which specification-based, defect-based,
experience-based techniques should be applied for a given project
situation to achieve the specific Goals.
● Outline the suitable approaches for a given project
context to verify and validate both the implementation of the
usability Requirements and the fulfillment of the user’s
expectations.
● Analyze a use case/user interface and identify problems
according to the checklist provided in the syllabus.
● Analyze a Requirements specification/user story and
identify problems according to the checklist provided in the syllabus.
● Identify, gather, and record classification information
for a given defect.
