Description The goal of this module is to provide a systematic study of the software quality process. This module will expose students to the new principles of high quality software development through advanced software test design. It will show how research and practice are evolving and combining to give a new structure to software quality improvement. It presents a unifying method of viewing software test through coverage of structures. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Learning Outcomes 1. Explain the challenges facing software developers creating correct code. 2. describe the software test design method using coverage based on Graph, Logic, Syntactic and Input Data Structures. 3. analyse and use coverage methods for test design using Graphs. 4. develop test designs for coverage of prgrams using Logic constraints. 5. use coverage methods to develop input space test designs. 6. design software test approaches based on syntactic structures. 7. formulate testing approaches for web based applications. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
