Never Miss a New Course!
While "move fast and break things" may sound appealing on the surface, it's not a good excuse to do your product testing on your customers. A good test plan will ensure you delight your customers and grow your business.
This class will cover why you need to test your product and how to do it. We will consider the various components of a thorough test plan and also consider prioritization and timing through the development process. After an overview of testing approaches, we will workshop developing a test plan for your product. Please come prepared to start developing or extending a test plan unique to your product.
Prerequisites:
- Product Requirements Document
