Description

Introduction to IVR Testing:

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems are widely used for automating interactions with telephone systems, enabling users to interact with databases and systems via voice commands or touch-tone inputs. IVR testing ensures these systems function as expected by simulating user interactions and checking system responses. This training focuses on understanding the importance of IVR testing, the processes involved, and the best practices for achieving high-quality IVR systems.

Prerequisites:

1. Basic knowledge of telecommunication systems
2. Familiarity with IVR applications and user interfaces
3. Understanding of software testing fundamentals
4. Experience with manual testing and test case design (optional)
