"This unique 3-day class introduces Rapid Software Testing (RST), a context-driven methodology for testing any product that includes or involves software. Through interactive discussion and hands-on activities, we challenge assumptions and expose common misconceptions about testing practices. Then we show you a clear and powerful way to think about testing (using heuristic models) that allows you to test responsibly and systematically so that you focus on business risk and do the deep testing that your project needs..."
