Lesson 3 – An overview of validation situations
3 Topics
“1. Validate a completed app i.e. test an application that has been coded, Ver 1.0 (brand new) , 1.1 (fix & mod), 2.0 (next release)”
2. Validate build of an application in development i.e In the Agile context, it is testing a sprint
3. Validate an entity i.e. feature/requirement/flow that is New/Fix/Mod Approach (high level strategy) to how we may about testing in above situations – the way we typically do and what we can do to make it say better (using IST/HBT?)

Lesson 14 – How-to-Adopt
7 Topics
For better early stage quality – DevTest, Review (US-Precode/PostCode)

Lesson 15- Miscellaneous
10 Topics
“On User story(US) & Acceptance criteria(AC) i.e for a US, this could spell out AC for individual US and also flow(s). This could be functional and attributes too. That QA may have to read/review and refine US and formulate AC. Find issues in US earlier too, not only after implementation.”
