Learn how QA responsibilities are distributed between the BA and QA professional over the project lifecycle. As you follow a project from initiation through to deployment and operations, you’ll learn and experience how BA and QA artifacts and activities fit together over the SDLC as you apply the V-Model. (The V-Model is widely used model outlining the relationship between product development and QA activities.) You’ll develop techniques to improve requirements-writing skills to create testable requirements, and acquire hands-on experience using essential V&V (Verification and Validation) techniques. The course includes use-case scenario testing, creation of the QA Plan, functional and non-functional (system) testing, QA metrics, Acceptance Testing, Decision Tables and Structured Walkthroughs, and incorporates BABOK 2, Six Sigma and Structured Testing guidelines.

Business AnalystsQA Professionals: QA Analysts, Testers, and their managersBusiness users and developers who need to be able to test computer systems from a business and user perspective
Projects are frequently behind schedule and over-budget due to the numerous revisions often required until the software matches the needs of business stakeholders.Most of these revisions can be traced to errors or omissions either:In the business requirements documentation (the original agreement with the developers), or,Due to bugs in the code.Not only do errors and omissions increase project costs and turnaround times, they erode customer confidence.By effectively employing Quality Assurance techniques, the BA and QA professional are able to improve project outcomes, by:Verifying throughout the life cycle that the project does not stray from customer expectations.Performing extensive and well-targeted tests on the software before it is released to unearth errors that have been introduced during analysis and development.
