March 05 - 08, 2008 @ Bangalore, INDIA
In the current IT scenario, there is a strong need for testing complex applications developed using diverse technologies. Defects leaked into a release cause serious business failures and heavy monetary losses.
Managing testing effectively and ensuring release of robust and dependable solutions is paramount for any organization involved in developing IT solutions. Borland's Silk Test provides a robust yet flexible approach to plan, design and automate test cases. Silk test uses object oriented methodology in building the test cases leveraging full benefits of OOPS, such as code reusability etc. This course provides class room and extensive hands-on exposure on testing different types of applications using Silk Test. This course is also the first step for an engineer to qualify and gain industry credentials as “Borland Certified Silk Test Engineer”
