Overview

COURSE OUTLINE: 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. Special techniques 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.

Experience and Highlights:

As a participant in this course, I found it incredibly insightful and well-structured. John's teaching style is clear, concise, and engaging, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The practical examples and hands-on exercises provided throughout the course were particularly helpful in solidifying my understanding of the material.

One of the highlights of this course is its emphasis on real-world application. John does an excellent job of relating theoretical concepts to practical scenarios, ensuring that learners not only understand the theory but also know how to apply it in real testing projects.

Furthermore, the course materials, including lecture videos, quizzes, and supplementary resources, are of high quality and greatly enhance the learning experience.
