Software Testing

Overview

This Software Testing course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the software testing process. Beginning with an introduction to software testing, students will learn about the importance of testing in the development process and the various misconceptions surrounding it. The course then delves into the different aspects of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) and how they relate to testing. Students will also gain an understanding of ISO standards and their role in the testing process.

The course covers various types of testing, including functional testing, performance testing, and security testing, among others. Additionally, students will learn about different testing methods, such as manual testing, automated testing, and exploratory testing. The course also explores the different levels of testing, including unit testing, integration testing, and system testing. Students will gain an understanding of how to write testing documentation, such as test plans, test cases, and test reports.

Finally, students will learn about estimation techniques used in software testing, including expert judgement, historical data, and analogous estimation. By the end of this course, students will have a strong understanding of the software testing process and be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully test software applications.
