Welcome to the Testing Software Applications course! by administrator - Wednesday, 22 June 2011, 10:00 PM

Welcome to the Testing Software Applications course! Our Mission Hitek Computer School provides education in Software QA and Software Testing to prepare students for doing manual and automated testing of modern software applications according to Information Technology Standards today. Career in Software Testing Software testing is a fast route for those who want to get a well paid job and have a limited amount of time on their hands. The job of a software tester is to find and report the differences between the actual and expected behaviour of a software product. The education needed and set of skills required are easy to learn. With 4-6 months of our training and internship, anyone with a passion for software testing and a bit of common sense can successfully find a job as a Software Tester in the Information Technology Industry. Here at Hitek Computer School we will teach you all necessary techniques, methodologies and tools you need to know to build a successful career as a Software Tester. Practical Approach With the idea of a 'picture worth a thousand words', we designed a course that focuses on developing practical software testing skills. We created a simulated testing environment where students are involved in all stages of the testing cycle: working with requirements, writing test cases, performing function, system and regression tests, developing automated testing scripts and reporting bugs using a real Defect Tracking System. A developer will fix bugs that the student found and release a fixed version of software (new build). Upon new build arrival, the student needs to retest the application to verify that bugs are fixed and no new bugs introduced. We strongly believe that the value of such a program lies in its ability to involve each student in the real software testing cycle, which, combined with the provided theoretical part of the course, will meet each individual's diverse needs and interests for both breadth and depth of content.
