School of testing. Test design
Description
The course covers the basic concepts of test design, methodology of test case development based on UC, approaches to designing test plans and writing test scripts, as well as features of test plans for different types of testing.
We describe the basic methods of functional and configuration testing based on the functional and configuration requirements of the software product. The course considers major approaches to writing the test design. It covers the concepts of functional and configuration testing as well as methods of testing reliability and stability.
School of testing presents alternative test methodologies, such as model-based testing, the Markov model testing and testing by business cycles. We talk about the specifics of developing tests to check various areas and the main methods to monitor and control the test object coverage by the tests.
