Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the basic principles and
techniques of software testing and at the same time to enable students to gain
practical experience on software testing. With this course, students will also be
able to gain knowledge and experience on issues such as how to test the
usability of software systems and code auditing. In addition, this course aims to
provide students with knowledge about testing software models and to write
quality software code using test-based development methods.
 Course Learning Outcomes

1)Recognizes the software development cycle principles.

2) Learns to test software systems and check their usability using different software
testing techniques.
3) Knows end-to-end continuous integration for the quality integrity of the system.
4) Knows how to automatically test software systems, including service and front-end,
using different software tools.
5) He/She also has knowledge about testing software models and can write quality
software code using the test-based design approach.
6) Learns how to measure the performance of the system - its limits and limits.
