Student Learning Outcomes:

Apply modern software testing processes in relation to software development and project management.
Create test strategies and plans, design test cases, prioritize and execute them.
Manage incidents and risks within a project.
Contribute to efficient delivery of software solutions and implement improvements in the software development processes.
To gain expertise in designing, implementation and development of computer based systems and IT processes.

Pedagogy for Course Delivery:

The course would be covered under theory. In addition to assigning project–based learning, early exposure to hands-on design to enhance the motivation among the
students. It incorporates designing of problems, analysis of solutions submitted by the students groups and how learning objectives were achieved. Continuous
evaluation of the students would be covered under quiz, viva etc.

Lab Practical’s:

1. Design test cases using Boundary value analysis by taking quadratic equation problem
2. Design test cases using Equivalence class partitioning taking triangle problem
3. Design test cases using Decision table taking triangle problem
4. Design independent paths by calculating cyclometic complexity using date problem
5. Design independent paths by taking DD path using date problem
6. Design the test cases for login page of AMIZONE
7. Manual Testing for PAN card verification
8. Generate test case for ATM machine
9. Overview of Testing process using Rational Robot
10. Write a script to record verification point using Rational Robot (For GUI testing of single click on window OS)
11. Write a script to record verification point for Clip Board and alphanumeric values using Rational Robot
12. Write a script to record verification point for CASE INSENSITIVE values using Rational Robot
13. Write a script to record verification point for RANGE values using Rational Robot
14. Write a script to record verification point for OBJECT PROPERTIES values using Rational Robot
