2 mins to read After completing this course, learners will have an understanding of a variety of black-box and white-box testing techniques. The learner will have put this understanding into practice, creating effective sets of test cases (called a test suite) to properly exercise software for defect finding. The learner will have examined requirements for testability, created an oracle for automated testing, assessed fault-finding effectiveness of test suites, and generated inputs using a variety of techniques.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
– evaluate the testability of requirements
– define testable units within a program specification
– apply black-box test input selection methods – specifically boundary-value analysis, fuzzing, and random selection – and select the method most-suited to achieve the given testing objective
– assess the fault-finding effectiveness of a functional test suite using mutation testing
– use category partitioning to develop automated functional tests (with Cucumber) based on a given software specification
– create an expected-value oracle from a program description to use within the generated tests
