I am able to Record, Replay back, Add transactions & Add Check Points, then why should I take this course? This course is much deeper than that. Students reported that they were able to troubleshoot the issues by themselves after attending the course. Also, reported that the course helped them to break the interviews confidently. Lots of C functions, LR functions, conversions etc…will be discussed. If you are lead, you will understand what NFR’s to collect from client and exact process to follow during project implementation. (PTLC).
