This course deals with model-based testing, a class of technologies shown to be effective and efficient in assessing the quality and correctness of large software systems.
Throughout the course you will learn how to design and use model-based testing tools, how to create realistic models and how to use these models to automate the testing process in your organisation.
About the course
The course includes 4 modules:
- Fundamentals of Model-based Testing: basic model-based testing terminology; what model-based testing is; finite state machines; how to select your tests using models; making these tests executable.
- Model-driven Testing: creating models from industrial code; automating test design; model-checking and searching through large models to find suitable tests; test automation; executing model-based tests.
- Using Coverage Criteria in Model-based Testing: practical ways to search the input space thoroughly; graph-based coverage criteria; logic-based coverage criteria; how to provide traceability from code to tests; make regression testing easier
- How to use Model-based Testing in Practice: tools for model-based testing; test management, choosing the model-based criteria to use and deciding how much automation is needed; test maintenance using model-based testing; test documentation in model-based testing.
You will learn
- about models and understand model-based testing
- practical skills and abilities on applying model-based testing in industrial practice
- to test software using model-based testing in structured, organised ways.
