Course overview
Master advanced testing techniques
This course explores test case design techniques, including advanced strategies for static analysis. You’ll receive advice on which techniques will be most effective in a given situation and learn how to decide which to use based on experience and the latest experimental results.
Learning objectives
- Use static analysis to identify test objectives and risks
- Apply static analysis and structure-based test design techniques
- Apply black-box approaches to business process via use-cases
- Explore test techniques appropriate for different systems
- Explore test techniques appropriate for different levels of risk
- Learn how these techniques are used to create test cases
- Learn how these techniques are used to measure test coverage
What you'll learn
This intensive course provides delegates with practical hands-on experience of applying static analysis and test case design techniques to example problems relating to both code and business processes, each of which is supported by model answers.
Static and dynamic testing fundamentals
Explore the foundations of static and dynamic testing methods. Learn how static analysis tools review code without execution, ensuring issues such as syntax errors or security vulnerabilities are detected early in the development process.
Flow and call graph analysis
Understand control flow and data flow analysis to assess programme logic and data movement through applications. Explore system architectures and call graph analysis to trace programme execution paths and identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks.
Advanced white box testing techniques
Develop advanced skills in dynamic white-box testing, including condition, decision/condition, and modified condition decision testing. Investigate multiple condition testing and path testing methods to validate code coverage and improve system reliability.
Black-box testing and use-case validation
Master dynamic black-box testing approaches such as use-case testing to ensure functionality aligns with user requirements. This method focuses on validating external behaviours rather than internal code logic, to ensure successful practical application.
Selecting the right test techniques
Learn how to choose the most appropriate test techniques based on project requirements and goals. Whether tackling complex software or simple applications, this module provides insights into selecting methods that optimise coverage and effectiveness.
