SWEBOK KNOWLEDGE AREA REVIEW COURSES

Course Description:
Software testing consists of the dynamic verification that a program provides the expected behaviors on a finite set of test cases, suitably selected from an infinite domain of execution possibilities. Software testing is no longer limited to activities that start only after coding (construction) is complete. Rather, as has been observed in the Software Construction course, testing begins during the construction phase with unit and integration testing, and proceeds through the full testing regime. This course begins with testing fundamentals, including terminology and the relationship of testing with other life cycle activities. From there, Software Testing proceeds through test levels; testing techniques; test-related measures; test processes and concludes with an examination of testing tools as they are applied to actual software testing operations.
