Duration: 3 days. ​

Training objectives:

• Learn aspects of test planning, estimation, monitoring and control.
• Understand and use international standards and terminology.
• Understand and implement effective testing techniques.
• Be well prepared for the exam.
• Identify the missing testing skills for the career development purposes.

This course covers the following areas:

• Fundamentals of software testing
• Testing throughout the life cycle (software development models, test levels, test types)

This course is for paying Bitraf members only. If you are not a paying member, sign up for membership at https://bitraf.no/# before the course.
If you want to make precise cuts in thin materials, a laser cutter may just be what you need.
Bitraf has 2 laser cutters capable of cutting lines and engraving patterns in wood, plastic, fabric, leather and more. It's entirely possible to do dangerous and harmful things with the cutter. Therefore it is mandatory to complete a laser-course at Bitraf before using the machinery. During this course we will look at the whole process from a simple and quick design project to a finished object.

To create cutting files you can use programs such as Illustrator, Inkscape, Fusion 360 or Rhino. Both Inkscape and Fusion can be installed for free; https://inkscape.org/en, https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview. For Fusion, sign up for «Start-Up or Educational licensing». During this course we will use Bitraf's PC so bringing your own laptop is optional.

Documentation for the laser can be found at
https://wiki.bitraf.no/wiki/Laser

https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Lasercutter-Guidelines-of-use--Bu19hdZzo6KoAg6AlpgjTMPgAg-SJmzPpa01ts2cHiMjybQE

The software we use on the lasers is called Lightburn.
https://lightburnsoftware.com
Please look through the plethora of tutorials available on youtube and their website - you can download the software to your own laptop before the course too.

The course will be in English,
• These courses tend to fill up. If you realize that you can't attend after signing up, please RSVP 'no' to sign off asap, so that someone else can take your spot.
• The course is in the lab (tables next to the kitchen). You are welcome to come earlier to grab coffee etc before the course starts. Be sure to be on time, if you come late as you will miss important information essential to complete the course, and not get certified to use the machines.
• Because of high expenses and running costs for the laser, you need to be a paying member of Bitraf to attend this course. Please join Bitraf at http://bitraf.no/join before signing up to the course.
• The course starts with a group theory presentation (about 45 min), then practical training that can take up to an hour each. You will be added to the 'TOOLS' tool access system at this point, meaning you will have everything you need to start using the lasers straight away. You are free to leave after the practical part.
