I have created a training and orientation session for new QA testers. The training is based principally on MSPowerPoint. However, there is a handbook that attendees to the session will receive and can use it first during the session to follow along with the PowerPoint presentation. Later, they can use the information in the handbook as a resource. This training and orientation session seems simple enough to develop, but it has already gone through several iterations. It isn't enough to gather info and then develop the training session. I have to collaborate with administration to make sure what they consider pertinent and important facts are included. Often, there have been discrepancies among members of the administration. Finding compromises can be the biggest piece of work for the training. However, I feel the training is interesting and educational at the same time as it provides accurate and succinct definitions for what the QA tester needs to complete the job successfully, what tools will be needed, and what skills are necessary as well as what skills will be developed or expanded. In short, the training session makes sure that the QA tester knows what is essential for completing the job description successfully.
