In this module you will be introduced to software testing. You will learn about when testing begins in the software development life cycle. You will learn about the verification and validation processes of testing, about the different testing levels, and what the different levels test.

In this module you will learn about the pesticide effect for software testing. You will learn about the software development life cycle V model, its strengths and weaknesses. You will learn about the evolution of test automation, comparing the types of testing tools available. You will learn about the fault model and how it outlines the types of faults in the program. You will learn about test cases, and design and planning and strategies for test cases. You will learn about unit testing, what it is and what parts of the program it tests.

In this module you will be introduced to Equivalence class testing, you will learn how equivalence class testing works and is based on the input data. You will learn about equivalence classes been created for both invalid and valid data. You will learn about special value testing and about its two types General and Special risk. You will learn about boundary value analysis and how it works.

In this module you will be introduced to Combinatorial testing which is another black box strategy. You will learn about different types of combinatorial testing strategies. You will learn about Decision table-based testing to show you testing on a table. You will learn about cause-effect graphing and how it can help you generate your decision tables. You will learn about pair-wise or all-pairs testing and how it works. You will learn about white-box testing and about several strategies for it. You will learn about how white-box testing strategies can be broken into two types.

You must score 80% or more to pass this assessment.

In this module you will be introduced to coverage based testing. You will learn about the basic condition coverage testing. You will learn about other types of coverage based techniques. You will learn about which is the strongest and weakest coverage based techniques. You will learn about the Modified condition and decision coverage testing (MC/DC testing).

In this module you will be introduced to path testing another coverage testing technique. You will learn about creating control flow graphs. You will learn about using Dataflow testing to test your variables in a program. You will learn about introducing faults into your program for mutation testing. You will learn about how mutation testing works, its drawbacks and terminology. You will be introduced to integration testing, what it is and different approaches to integration testing.

In this module you will be introduced to the testing levels above unit testing. You will learn about integration testing. You will learn about the different approaches for integration testing and how they work. You will learn about system testing and what its objective is. You will learn about different types of system performance testing. You will learn about what many of the performance tests, test the system on. You will learn about regression testing when it’s performed and why.

In this module you will be introduced to testing Object-Orientated programs. You will learn about how OO programming was supposed to make testing easier. You will learn about how some testing methods for Procedural programs will not work with OO programs. You will learn about how features of OO programming such as inheritance and Polymorphism will make you test your program differently. You will learn about the different integration testing strategies for testing your OO program.
