About Course:

 This course will cover various techniques for test case design, as used for testing of software artifacts including requirements, design and code. We will discuss algorithms and techniques for test case design based on graphs, logic, syntax of programming languages and on inputs. Specialtechniques for testing object-oriented features and web applications will also be discussed. The course will end with symbolic testing techniques. These broadly will cover test cases for both white-box and black-box.

 
Intended Audience:
UG final year and PG

Core/Elective: Elective

Pre-requisites
Programming, Algorithms, Discrete Mathematics (basics)

UG/PG : Both

Industry Support
The material of this course has been used to offer training for Samsung, ABB and Mindtree. The course will be useful for any firm that does tests their software.
