Exploratory Testing and Risk-Based QA Virtual Internship
In this virtual internship, students will learn techniques for uncovering hidden defects through exploratory testing and develop a risk-based approach to software quality assurance. They will gain hands-on experience in identifying and mitigating potential risks, designing and executing effective test strategies, and documenting their findings to improve software quality.
Track Overview
Tasks & Milestones
Exploratory Testing Simulation
IntermediateStudents will participate in a simulated exploratory testing session, applying various techniques to uncover hidden defects in a web application.
Exploratory Testing Retrospective
IntermediateStudents will reflect on their exploratory testing experience and identify opportunities for improvement.
Risk Identification and Assessment
IntermediateStudents will conduct a risk assessment for a software project, identifying and prioritizing potential risks.
Risk-Based Test Planning
IntermediateStudents will develop a risk-based test plan for the software project, focusing on high-priority risks.
Risk-Based Test Execution
IntermediateStudents will execute the risk-based test plan developed in the previous module and document their findings.
Risk Mitigation and Quality Improvement
IntermediateStudents will analyze the test results, identify risk mitigation strategies, and propose quality improvement measures.
Capstone Project: Exploratory Testing and Risk-Based QA
IntermediateStudents will conduct exploratory testing, perform risk assessment, and implement a risk-based test strategy for a software project.
