In this one-day course, students will learn how to represent an 'actors' perspective in the form of swim lanes, based on UML (Unified Modeling Language). The students build scenarios based on user actions. They will then be shown how to extrapolate the scenarios into use cases using Gherkin style format leading to creating test cases.

Below are 10 key reasons why businesses should take software testing seriously.
Mitigate potential financial, ecological or social liability. PROTECT your business against civil or criminal legal actions by getting your team skilled-up in best Software Testing practices.
Whether systems are built for internal or external operation, users rightly expect them to work well every time. Software testing addresses the methods, tools and techniques in developing applications to satisfy these expectations.
By having software testing play a key roll in development will mean a significant increase in efficiencies and a reduction in poorly built applications.
Software testing is not just improving the reliability of an application. By considering the business needs throughout the development lifecycle helps to give companies a competitive advantage.
Confidence and quality are very closely linked. From an end users perspective, If a system does what it should with ease and clarity, it will lead to increased customer satisfaction.
Usability is an important type of acceptance testing. It considers the behaviour of an end user and their needs from an application. This approach helps guide developers to build what the user wants, rather then what they think they want.
When developing safety critical systems, more formal approaches should be taken. Software testers ensure industry standard approaches are taken to ensure sufficient coverage is obtained to protect the system and its users.
Software testing considers factors concerning unauthorised access to system data, such as obtaining personal details from a customer database. Security testing addresses these and other issues to ensure suitable measures are taken to protect applications from these vulnerabilities.
Many applications have been known to make or break companies. Software testing can be a major contributor towards ensuring customers want to use, and continue to use systems of any type.
Risk plays a major roll in software testing. By identifying the impact and likelihood of a system failure will help direct testing effort, thus increase the overall product quality.
