- Works for any part of the industry. The RST methodology has been applied to regulated medical devices and government agencies, as well as video game companies and Silicon Valley startups. It’s also been applied to embedded systems and the Internet of Things. The methodology is not tied to any one industrial context.
- Works for testing specialists or part-timers. The class focuses on testing skills that are applicable to testing specialists as well as developers, designers, business analysts, product owners or domain experts who may perform roles other than testing.
- Works for all team members. Although the material has a technical slant, we show how people with almost any educational background can contribute to excellent testing. We use open-ended exercises, so both experienced testers and new testers find the class a rewarding experience.
- Compatible with Agile, DevOps, or even Waterfall. We focus on universal skills and heuristics of test design and test strategy,— which apply to any type of development process you may be using. And because the class is context-driven, we help you determine what testing practices are right for your company, rather than imposing “one best way.”
- Compatible with automation. While we say that testing cannot be automated, we also say that testing benefits through the proper application of many different kinds of tools, including those that simulate users and perform automatic checks.
- Taught with integrity. Because the class is only taught by people who control the methodology, you are getting the training directly from the source. Our instructors don’t just read slides, but rather tell stories and answer questions based on original thought and experience. We are fully answerable for what we teach.
- Join the community. Attendees of RST qualify to join the RST Slack team, where students can interact and ask questions of the instructors. We do what we can to make the lessons of the class work for you.
