Course Overview
By the time projects get to the testing phase, they are often behind schedule, over budget, and the organization is anxious to have the solution deployed. As a result, many times testing best practices are ignored. This course takes a deep dive into the testing cycle and covers the importance of following testing best practices.
This course is designed around a Richard Ivey School of Business case study that was carefully selected to analyze business problems encountered during the Testing Cycle. The case study examines a software development project that is undertaken by an in-house team. This project is taking longer than planned, exceeding an ever-growing budget, and the User Acceptance Testing has failed.
Managing the Testing Cycle is the fifth class in our Successful System Implementation Course Series. Participants must analyze the situation, pick a point of view, and be able to defend their recommendation. During class discussions, participants will work with their peers to explore the problem, identify the key factors that led to success or failure, and, with the help of your instructor, identify key lessons that you can apply to your future roles within your company.
