Fundamentals of SQL for Testers

More businesses have now changed to agile development, which increases the need for technical skills of testers. SQL is one way to achieve this.

Learning objectives

You will gain basic knowledge of SQL and relational databases, as well as the following other benefits:

You know what a relational database is and how it is constructed
You can use SQL to check and modify the contents of a database
Training in SQL in various testing situations
You know the terms and techniques used by developers and data architects
Help with preparing test data
Help with migrations and conversions
Help with database updates
Use SQL to extract data for reports in test management tools
Understand how data typically presented in a GUI is stored

Target audience

You are a software tester with at least one year of practical experience, and you are familiar with common testing concepts (corresponding to the ISTQB Foundation level). This course is particularly suited to testers working in an agile set-up who wish to contribute to solving more technically oriented problems. You are not expected to have any prior knowledge of database construction or SQL.

Course format

This course is based on active participant involvement, with lots of exercises and direct practice with SQL statements in an application/database. TestHuset will provide a PC for use during the course.
