Manual Testing Course Syllabus

MANUAL TESTING COURSE SYLLABUS
Overview:
Testing is a critical phase of Software Development Life Cycle. Manual testing is the process in which the
defects are identified, isolated, subjected for justification and ensure that the product is defect-free, in-order
to produce quality product. However it requires the necessary knowledge such as about different types of
manual testing, software development life cycle. In this course you will learn everything that is required from a
good manual tester.
Course Objectives
