Web & Mobile Testing Fundamentals

This course will help you minimize the risks - whether launching a new web or mobile application, or an entire web site. You will gain a thorough understanding of how to test the basic controls, content, navigability, and features of your web site or your web or mobile application - in a workable, real-world environment. We also go beyond the basics and discuss the "ilities" - multiple dimensions of web and mobile quality - such as how to check compatibility, performance, security, usability, interoperability, and operational effectiveness.
