This course provides an introduction to the principles and practices of software testing. Topics covered include:
The software development life cycle (SDLC) and the role of testing in the SDLC
Different types of software testing, such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing
Testing techniques, such as black box testing, white box testing, and functional testing
Test case design and execution
Test automation
Software quality assurance
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
Understand the role of testing in the software development process
Identify different types of software testing and their purposes
Design and execute test cases
Use test automation tools
Apply software quality assurance principles
The course explores the testing process, from planning and design to execution and analysis. Students will learn how to create test plans, write test cases, and use different testing tools and frameworks. The course also covers advanced testing strategies, such as exploratory testing, risk-based testing, and model-based testing.
Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to practice their software testing skills through hands-on projects and assignments. They will work on testing real-world applications, using both manual and automated testing techniques. Students will also learn how to write test reports and communicate their findings effectively to stakeholders.
By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of how to test software effectively using advanced testing strategies. They will be able to apply these skills in their work and be able to explain the importance of software testing to others.
