Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Calculate the profitability of a test industrialization project
Create functional test plans
Automate these manual functional tests using test robots
Automatically feed data to the test robot
Run these tests as part of the continuous integration process

Intended audience
Test managers, managers, validation/functional qualification test engineers (MOE or MOA).

Prerequisites
Good knowledge of software engineering processes, including testing processes.

this course focuses on front-end testing, which wasn't specified and made me a little frustrated (functional testing isn't just front-end testing...)
