• Design test strategies, plans and test cases for real time applications
• Apply software testing levels and methods to industry-oriented practices
• Understand and evaluate quality standards and metrics for Software Quality Assurance
• Solve software testing problems by designing and selecting software test tools, criteria and strategies.

Pedagogy for Course Delivery:

The class will be taught using remote teaching methodology. Students’ learning and assessment will be on the basis of four quadrants and
flipped class method. E-content will be also provided to the students for better learning. The class will be taught using theory, practical
and case-based method.
Lab Practical’s:

1. Design test cases using Boundary value analysis by taking quadratic equation problem
2. Design test cases using Equivalence class partitioning taking triangle problem
3. Design test cases using Decision table taking triangle problem
4. Design independent paths by calculating cyclomatic complexity using date problem
5. Design independent paths by taking DD path using date problem
6. Design the test cases for login page of AMIZONE
7. Manual Testing for PAN card verification
8. Generate test case for ATM machine
9. Overview of Testing process using Rational Robot
10. Write a script to record verification point using Rational Robot (For GUI testing of single click on window OS)
11. Write a script to record verification point for Clip Board and alphanumeric values using Rational Robot
12. Write a script to record verification point for CASE INSENSITIVE values using Rational Robot
13. Write a script to record verification point for RANGE values using Rational Robot
14. Write a script to record verification point for OBJECT PROPERTIES values using Rational Robot
