Test Automation Class in Virginia

Posted by: Jared Richardson on 08/25/2008
The first scheduled class for the NFJS One venture is now official! And we don't even have the website live yet. :)

This class will be a good mix of the "Why" as well as the "How". The goal is for you to leave the class with a different perspective on test automation as well as the practical tools to be effective. The target audience is developers who want to understand how test automation can help them, as well testers who want to dive. We'll cover enough material that a coding background isn't required, but you'll get more out of it if you do.

Register here.

Here's the course description.

Good test automation is like a good exercise routine. We all know we should have one, but most of us don't. This class provides the tools and information you need to jump start your testing efforts. We'll show you what's worked for us and how we've used test automation to keep projects on time and under bud
