Course Description:
This course is intended to provide in-depth coverage of software testing. The goal of the course is
to provide students with the skill to select and apply a testing strategy and testing techniques that
are appropriate to a particular software system or component. In addition, the student will become
a capable user of test tools; will be able to assess the effectiveness of their testing activity; and will
be able provide evidence to justify their evaluation. The course will be supported by two practical
exercises involving the development of appropriate tests and the application of a range of testing
tools.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course the students will be able to:
 Analyze requirements to determine appropriate testing strategies.
 Design and implement comprehensive test plans
 Instrument code appropriately for a chosen test technique
 Apply a wide variety of testing techniques in an effective and efficient manner
 Compute test coverage and yield according to a variety of criteria
 Use statistical techniques to evaluate the defect density and the likelihood of faults.
 Evaluate the limitations of a given testing process and provide a succinct summary of those
limitations
 Conduct reviews and inspections
