President & Consultant at Amibug, Inc.
Rob Sabourin has more than thirty-nine years of management experience leading teams of software development professionals.
A highly respected member of the software engineering community, Rob has managed, trained, mentored, and coached thousands of top professionals in the field.
He frequently speaks at conferences and writes on software engineering, SQA, testing, management, and internationalization.
Rob authored “I am a Bug!”, the popular software testing children’s book; works as an adjunct professor of software engineering at McGill University; and serves as the principal consultant (and president/janitor) of AmiBug.Com, Inc.
Rob provides a series of illustrative examples of each test design and test automation approach. The
context, testing problem and proposed solutions are reviewed.
Delegates are given a change to implement some of the test design approaches as in exercises. Although some tools may be required all are open sourced & have been used by on Windows & Mac Platforms.
Homework problems give delegates a chance to attempt more complex problems, combine techniques
and even apply techniques to their own problem space.
Rob shares recent project case studies using various test automation tools & techniques to solve complex problems, professional task analyses covering relevant business, technical, & organizational factors.
Rob provides a fun, educational, and high energy learning experience. Rob encourages delegates to bring up their real-world project concerns so that a wide set of relevant recent
examples and case studies.
Rapid Software Testing - Peer Advisor
Usually, when people go to a class, they have certain implicit or explicit goals, expectations, desires, hopes, needs. For me it was different. It was above all these. I just wanted to stay, reflect, wonder, and enjoy. I knew that there were things that I did not know that I should know, and I was right. Robert Sabourin has such a big energy and passion. For me is very clear that his target audience is not only testers but also programmers, Product Owners, Managers, Scrum Masters….because “testing is about social responsibility”
Manager, QA Software Test Automation Lead at Pfizer
Rob Sab’s JIT is a must for testers and developers alike. The workshop examples tie directly to real world testing problems, are practical and quick to implement. My teams have even implemented the ideas from JIT during course breaks. I highly recommend JIT for anyone wanting to understand more about what testing is, how to do it professionally and provide real value.

I had several Eureka moments that helped get rid of several myths I seem of have about Software Engineering and Testing. I now have a repertoire of ideas to take back home from this course.

Software Tester at IBM
This is a really great workshop, with excellent content, practical test techniques and approaches that can be applied in many different contexts. Rob’s passion and energy encouraged great interaction from the workshop participants, and he shared many real case studies and examples from his vast experience to show the practical effects of applying these approaches in the real world. This is an amazing course and Rob is an amazing instructor. Thanks TTT for organising this bootcamp, highly recommended!

The benefits of JIT for me are that it delves into a hands-on approach into Test idea sources, Test Design and Techniques. Seeing Rob go through Control Flow, Decision Tables and Combinatorics is essential and his coverage of Failure Modes Analysis is the icing on the cake. JIT delves deep and you come out of the course armed with tools and concepts that you can use. The term test idea is always thrown around, but try to find a suitable definition? JIT is full of test ideas along with a definition! Robs is a master at teaching and at provoking thought…..full of test ideas!
Live classes are scheduled during (Weekends) non-working hours, ensure you learn without disrupting your work commitments
Missed a class? No worries. With lifetime access to recordings for each session, you can catch up at your convenience.
Implement learnings during the weekdays and clarify doubts in dedicated doubt-clearing sessions every Wednesday
Testers can save a lot of time—and focus on what really matters—by using automated test design and
implementation tools. Traditional test automation helps testers execute tests, report progress, and offer
insights into test coverage and completeness, but little emphasis has been made on automating
effective test design.
Rob Sabourin will share automated test design techniques using a selection of free and open-source
tools. Rob has implemented automated test design in conjunction with automated unit tests and automated
story tests on many software projects, and he will share examples demonstrating automatic test design
on many technology stacks using popular unit and story test frameworks.
Rob will illustrate how complex transactional business tests are defined with automated decision table
analyzers using state-of-the-art logic reduction algorithms, as well as construct test cases navigating
complex integration paths, microservice APIs, and functionality chains using automatic path analysis
tools.
You will learn to automate test generation on many technology stacks for several architectures,
including REST APIs, microservice architectures, cloud computing solutions, multi-tiered architectures,
and mobile and embedded systems, to efficiently discover critical bugs.
Many of Rob’s customers, students and professional colleagues are concerned about building skills in
test Automation. In this course Rob shares a problem-solving approach which can help you leveraging
test automation tools and technologies to help solve some complex testing problems. Rather than
mastering any specific tool or technology stack Rob shares many ways that automation can support
testing. Automation can be an important part of your testing solution space. Rob has succeeded in
many projects by tooling and instrumenting projects leveraging a multitude of automation strategies
over the past 40 years.
This course addresses to topic of design.
Instead of prescribing how test automation should be used in software testing this course looks at the
testing from a problem-solving approach.
Given a clear test objective, tied to project specific business goals, Rob Sabourin will share how a wide
variety of tools and techniques can be used to efficiently deliver valuable meaningful results.
The issue of test design will be reviewed looking at how tools and technologies can be used to support
the design of excellent tests. Test design is about focusing, and different test design techniques can be
applied to help fulfil the test objective. Automated test design tools and techniques can be used in
identification of a meaningful relevant and minimal set of variables, conditions, and factors, selecting
appropriate trials to exercise the application and learn about the risks that really matter.
Multiple variable test design techniques focused on business rules can be supported with tools such as
decision table editors and APIs such as Open Rules.
Test designs for transactional, data oriented or stateful systems can be implemented with path analysis
tools used to help identify a reasonable subset of the vast number of possible pathways through a
network.
Combinations test design techniques, such as pareto analysis can be performed with spread sheets and
with many publicly available libraries and tools.
Rob will show how simple Python scripts can be assembled to generate excellent combinations,
permutation, selection, and sample-oriented tests.
