2 Avtech Institute of Technology Course Instructor: Course Duration: 75 hours Date/Time: Training Location: Course: Text / Lab Books: Course Description The objective of this session is to introduce students to the fundamentals of Software QA Testing (Manual), QA terminology used in the industry, creating test documentation. By the completion of this session, the students will be able to write Test Plans, Test Cases, and report defects for standalone, Client-Server, and Web Based applications. Introduction to the Software Development Life Cycle Introduction to Software QA Testing Software Testing Terminology Roles and Responsibilities of a QA Tester Documenting Test Plans Documenting/Executing Test cases Introduction to Defect Reporting and Tracking Writing Metrics/Summary Reports Introduction to Automation in Software Testing Test Management with HP Quality Center The first of the two sessions will start with the introduction to the automation in Software Testing. HP Quality Center for test management will be introduced in this session. The second session will be dedicated on working with different modules of HP Quality Center. By the completion of this topic, the students will understand the concept of automation in software testing and will be able to use the HP Quality Center tool. Creating a test database Creating users and setting the permissions Working with Requirements Module Working with Test Plan Module Working with Test Lab Module Working with Defects Module Generating Reports Avtech Institute Page 2

Some quizzes may be entirely or contain lab based components. A mid-course and end course examination will be given. Avtech Institute Page 7

8 Method of Evaluating Students Grade Distribution Class Attendance 10 Mid Term 30 Finals 50 Special Projects Makeup projects 10 Total 100% Grading Policy At the end of each course, each student is assigned a final grade as follows: Point Range Interpretation Grade Quality Points Excellent A Very Good B Average C Poor D Below 60 Failure F 0 N/A Withdrawal W 0 N/A Pass P 0 N/A Incomplete I 0 A student earning a grade of D or above is considered to have passed the course and is eligible to pursue further studies. A student receiving a grade of F has failed the course. A failed course must be repeated and passed to meet Avtech Institute s graduation requirements, in addition to an overall program GPA of 2.0. Requirements for Successful Completion of the Course At a minimum, students must achieve the following: A passing grade of D or above Completion of all required examinations Submission of all required lab exercises and projects and; Adherence to the school attendance policy.

9 Equipment Needed Industry standard desktop computer for lab exercises. Equipment Breakdown Lab room Videos and Projector Library Assignments To be determined by the instructor. Portfolio Assignment Student program outcome portfolios are required to demonstrate student competencies. In conjunction with your course structure, please select a project/paper that best demonstrates what you have learned in this course and add it to your program portfolio. Course Policies Disruptive Behavior Disruptive behavior is an activity that interferes with learning and teaching. Inappropriate talking during class, surfing inappropriate website, tardiness, cheating, alcohol or drug use, use of cell phone, playing lout music during class, etc. all disrupt the learning process. Copyright Infringement Specific exemptions to copyright infringement are made for student use in the context of learning activities. Graphic design students often download images from the Internet, or scan images from publications. As long as this work is for educational purpose, and subject to faculty permission, this is not a problem. Plagiarism Faculty cannot tolerate the misrepresentation of work as the student s own. This often involves the use by one student or another student s design, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. In the event that plagiarism is evident and documented, all students involved in the conscious decision to misrepresent work must receive an F as the grade for the project. A second occurrence may result in suspension for the rest of the quarter, and return to the school only after a review by the Academic Standards Committee. Attendance Attendance and Lateness In education and the workplace, regular attendance is necessary if individuals are to excel. There is a direct correlation between attendance and academic success. Attendance is mandatory. All students must arrive on time and prepared to learn at each class session. At the faculty member s discretion, students may be marked absent if they arrive more than 15 minutes late to any class. More that five absences in a class that meets twice per week or more that two absences in a class that meets once per week may result in a failure. Avtech Institute Page 9

10 Make-Up Work Late Projects and Homework All projects and homework must be handed in on time. Homework should be ed to your instructor if you are going to miss a class. Work that is submitted one week late will result in the loss of one full grade; and work that is submitted two weeks late will result in the loss of two full grades; more than two weeks late you will receive a failing grade on the project. Student s Responsibility The student is responsible for attending all classes and participating on a regular basis. If you must miss a class, you must notify the professor in person or via the day before. Classroom discussions will occur and the student is expected to make meaningful contributions to the discussions. The student is responsible for doing all assignments, including homework, and handing them in on time. The student must behave in a mature manner at all times unusual, disturbing or harassing behavior will not be tolerated. Such behavior will lead to ejection from class and possible further actions, including a requested withdrawal from class. Avtech Institute s school policies must be followed at all times.
