Introduction

During the software development process, errors are inevitably introduced and some of them are even amplified as a project progresses. To detect these errors so that they can be removed, we need to test the software.

The success of testing depends on the test cases used. Considering that most software projects are delivered in a limited time span using fixed resources, effective test cases must be used to optimize the available resources. In addition, it is important to plan for testing, otherwise it is likely to be skipped or performed in a haphazard fashion.

Software Testing Course includes:

• An Introduction to Software Testing
• Test Case Design Techniques
• Software Testing Strategies

This software testing course has been co-authored by the internationally recognized consultant and authority on software engineering—Dr. Roger S. Pressman.
