Leading Compuware Business Partner
Announces TestPartner Training Curriculum
     
  New York, NY, December 13, 2005 - RTTS, the premier professional services organization providing application testing services to Fortune 500 firms and SMBs, today announced new courses supporting Compuware TestPartner that will be offered on its public training schedule starting in January 2006. When combined with RTTS’ existing courses, the curriculum allows TestPartner users to progress from basic to advanced level concepts , taking their skills to a higher level through a formal training program.  
  TestPartner, an automated functional and regression testing tool specially designed for testing complex applications, offers unique features that allows both testers and developers to create repeatable tests through visual scripting and automatic wizards. Users also have access to the full capabilities of Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), allowing tests to be as high level or detailed as needed.  
  "Our course development team formulated this courseware after years of experience implementing these products for clients in a range of industries and platforms," said Bill Hayduk, director of professional services for RTTS. "This resulted in a battery of courses that is realistic and provides the student with the necessary skills to optimize the product and yield the highest return on investment.”  
  Available only through RTTS, the suite of courses for TestPartner includes these 3 separate modules:  
   

• Introduction to TestPartner - This two-day course will teach students the fundamentals of creating and enhancing automated tests using TestPartner. After completing this course, students will be able to use TestPartner to automate functional and regression tests.

• Visual Basic (VBA) for TestPartner - This one-day course is designed to provide students with the foundation in Visual Basic (VBA) necessary for RTTS' Advanced TestPartner course. This course can be taken standalone or in conjunction with the basic or advanced TestPartner courses.

• Advanced TestPartner – During this two-day course, testing professionals already familiar with programming in Visual Basic (VBA) and the fundamentals of TestPartner will explore advanced tool use through programming in VBA. In addition to class lecture, students will complete lab exercises to reinforce critical tool and language concepts, and gain hands-on experience guided by an expert instructor.
