|  McCabe IQ Training Courses
While the McCabe products are easy to use and intuitively designed, they are also very robust and contain a wide range of analysis features. To help you gain the maximum benefit from your investment in McCabe technology, the training offered is designed to illustrate the most efficient way of implementing the tools to meet your development needs.
The McCabe IQ Training Courses are based on a modular principle presented over multiple online sessions.
Management training takes place in one session and is designed to assist managers in understanding the ‘what and how’ of the McCabe tools and the metrics they produce.
Some of the course modules are optional and can be excluded dependent upon the main focus of the course and available time.
The McCabe IQ Training Courses use slides presented by the trainer, and can use standard exercises run by attendees. Training attendees should have access to a training workstation (one workstation for every two attendees is minimum) in order to run the training exercises.
Attendees are provided with copies of the training slides, and of exercise materials if applicable.

Course Structure
The McCabe IQ Training Course can consist of five interrelated sections as follows:
Principles of Software Quality and McCabe IQ – This covers principles such as source analysis, code metrics, data analysis and project building.
Basic Testing Concepts and Implementation Using McCabe IQ – Including instrumentation, coverage analysis and optional coverage manipulation.
Enterprise Reporting – Functionality only available within McCabe IQ's enterprise reporting engine and includes the Style Report Designer to develop basic reports. (This section is optional for Test users.)
McCabe IQ Advanced Usage and Administration – This is designed to look at the administrative implications of deploying IQ, and how the installation can accommodate a wide range of deployment modes.
McCabe IQ Management – This is designed for management staff, who wish to understand how to deploy the toolset in their environments, use metrics to implement a quality plan, and exploit the enterprise reporting tool to disseminate metrics gathered as part of a quality plan.
For those clients who have specific requirements, the standard courses above can be modified to focus on the licensing options purchased.
Course Fees
The course fees depend upon the number of students attending, location and the duration of the course. Further details can be obtained from your McCabe account manager at 800-638-6316.
