TestDirector 8 Comprehensive Training Course

This is not the same as the Test Director public training course offered by Mercury Interactive, but a more comprehensive course  that is developed exclusively by QATraining.net. We cover all the areas that you need to know to use TestDirector successfully. It includes TestDirector Administration (to include installation, Project Administrator and the TestDirector Server Manager), Requirements, Test Planning, Test Execution (manual and automated), Defect Tracking, quizzes, labs for every training section and a final test at the end. We include a downloadable Quick Reference Guide for TestDirector completely FREE.
