Unit 1: Introduction to software testing tools (Duration: 30 Mins)
## This unit would be theory based and an overview of all tools would be given based on STLC.
## There can be slight change in the overview as it is missing Manual testing and API testing
introduction. Details are given below.
## 12 Hrs would be too long to cover this part and hence would suggest to cut down the time and
give more time for other practical units which has less time.

Unit 2: (Suggested Addition): Manual Testing (Duration = 3 Hrs)

## Normally industry would look/hire for someone who is a blend of Functional Testing (i.e.
Manual Testing) + 1 or 2 Non-Functional Testing areas (i.e. Automation, Performance, Security,
etc)
## Template for writing test cases, SBTM (Session Based Test Management), Practice for Context
Driven Manual Testing, Providing Test Coverage via Mind-map ----(Cancelled)---- Browser add-
on's and summary list of tools which can be useful

Unit 3: Test Management and Defect Tracking Tool (Duration = 4 to 5 Hrs 3.5 Hrs)
## Detailed Focus: Bugzilla (Bug Tracker) ----(Short Coverage can be done as it is not that
important)---- Testlink (Test Management Tool) ----(Cancelled)---- Brief Summary: Not required
but would give small summary on Jira (Another Famous Licensed BugTracker Tool)
## For unit 2 and 3: Would be done simultaneously and homework assignments would be given
which would be evaluated on next weekend

Unit 4:(Suggested Addition) : API Testing (Duration = 9 to 11 7 Hrs)

## Introduction to API ## Manual vs. Add-on vs. Automation ## Testing API's via Postman Client
(3 hrs)
## Automating API Test cases using Java + Framework for the same (4 Hrs)

Unit 5 (Suggested Addition): (Duration = 1.5 to 2 1 Hrs)

##VCS - Version Control System (Important aspect to maintain versions and code on cloud which
can be easily shared and synchronized with team)
## Detailed Focus: Git, Github, Gitlab, eGit
## Helpful for both Developers and Automation Testers

Unit 6: Unit Testing Tools (Duration = 2 Hrs 1 Hr)

Detailed focus: TestNg testing tool ----(Cancelled)---- Brief Overview: Junit (Minor coverage) 2

Unit 7: Automation Testing Tools (Duration = 16 to 17 10 to 11 Hrs)

suites at one click Keeps track & copy of all executed TestNg reports with proper suite name, date
time stamp Updates Google doc automatically for reporting Can send automated mails with test
report details to desired people once all test suites are executed Method libraries to interact with
various things like: Database Reporting Selenium functions Automated Emails and so on... Brief
Summary: ------------------- TestingWhiz (Similar to QTP) ----(Cancelled)---- QTP (Quick Test
Professional) 3
Eggplant/EggOn (English Based Scripting Tool: I can explain the scripts I have and how it works,
but would be difficult to do practical as License is needed for using it. Demo License for 1 month
can be obtained by contacting the Vendor directly) ----(Cancelled)----Sikuli

Unit 8: Mobile Testing Tools (15 Hrs 7 Hrs) 1. Mobile Testing Tools: (Duration: 2 Hrs 1 Hr) ---
-(Cancelled)----Detailed focus: Mobile phone emulators like GenyMotion Brief Summary: Mobile
phone emulators like GenyMotion , Responsivepx ----(Cancelled)----2. Mobile Performance
Tools: (Duration: 1 Hrs) (Would try to cover in detail as much as I can, but only Mobitest is open
source and other 2 are licensed one. Might add one more tool later) ----(Short summary)----
Mobitest 3. Mobile Automation tool: (Duration: 12 Hrs 6 Hrs) ## Detailed Focus: Appium ----
