Tutorial Motivation
Every organization searches for a training for their testers which can help their testers to find more bugs before their customer find them or to train their testers to give as much information as possible about the quality of the product to help the management take better informed decisions.
If anyone plans to learn driving a car and improve their driving skills, they would prefer to have a coach while they drive a car and not prefer to listen to someone who has driven a car sitting in a classroom in the context of becoming a better driver. We believe testers in your organization also need a training where they drive (test) and get coached than sitting in a class room and listening about process / methodology and definitions.
This workshop is unique in India that it makes people to drive while we coach them to drive better! If that is what you are looking for – here is your program.
