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.

Programme de cours : ce que vous apprendrez dans ce cours
Module 1: Introduction
In this module, we will learn about the basics of testing adequacy, as well as the factors that influence testing effectiveness and how we quantify these metrics.
Module 2: Black and White-box Techniques
In this module, we will learn a variety of testing techniques that can be used in both white-box and black-box testing strategies.
Module 3: Requirements-Based Testing
In this module, we focus on requirements-based testing. We review a set of requirements from a testing perspective and then move on to a more sophisticated way of writing requirements: structured requirements using the tool Cucumber.
Performing Black and White Box Testing with Cucumber
In this module, we go further in using the Cucumber toolset in order to implement a variety of testing strategies against two example projects.
À propos du Spécialisation Software Testing and Automation
This Specialization is intented for beginning to intermediate software developers seeking to develop knowledge and skill in implementing testing techniques and tools in the development of their projects. Through four courses, you will cover black-box and white-box testing, automated testing, web & mobile testing, and formal testing theory and techniques, which will prepare to you to plan and perform effective testing of your software.
