Which test case design techniques will I practise?

<text variant="body1">You will derive test cases from requirements using equivalence partitioning, decision tables, and state transition testing. You will complement these with error guessing and exploratory testing, and explain your technique choices.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Testing in Agile development needs to keep pace with changing requirements and frequent delivery. This course examines how testing fits into Agile teams, with attention to user stories, sprints, and the need to adapt testing strategies as development progresses.

You will explore test-driven development and the role of tests in guiding implementation. You will also study test case design techniques and use application requirements to identify useful test conditions and expected results. A role-play activity based on a zoo ticketing system provides a setting for practising test case design. By the end of the course, you will be able to explain Agile testing and test-driven development, select suitable test design techniques, and develop test cases that address application requirements.

This topic expands on Agile testing, building on the software development life cycle (SDLC) discussed in Topic 2. It explores testing in the Agile methodology, including stages of agile testing, user story and sprint concepts. Additionally, it introduces test driven development and the adaptability of testing strategies in the process.

In this Module, we will delve into the fundamental concepts of test case design techniques and explore various methods that are essential for new software testers to understand. These techniques are crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and thoroughness of software testing, ultimately leading to higher quality software products.

What's included

1 assignment5 plugins

Learners work inside a simulated two-week sprint for a zoo ticketing website. They plan how testing fits into the sprint, design tests before the code exists using test-driven development, and derive test cases from written rules using equivalence partitioning, decision tables, and state transition testing. They add experience-based tests and justify their technique choices in an Agile Test Design Pack.

Frequently asked questions

An understanding of software quality concepts, development life cycle models, and common testing approaches will help you follow this course. If these topics are new to you, Software Quality Fundamentals and Test Strategies provides a useful foundation before you explore Agile testing, test-driven development, and test case design.

You will explore how testing relates to user stories and sprints, and how testing strategies adapt as development progresses. You will apply these concepts by planning testing within a simulated two-week sprint.

You will examine how tests guide implementation through the test-driven development process. In the mini project, you will design tests for a user story before it is implemented.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.
