The 2002 International Symposium on Information Systems and Engineering (ISE'2002)
Title: Software
Testing for Computer and Information Systems
OBJECTIVES: To introduce and discuss
various software testing techniques and analyses that have sound theoretical
basis. The discussion will include
software testing fundamentals and techniques for software test case
design. Software Testing techniques
such as Functional testing, Structural testing, Integration and System testing,
including Object-Oriented testing, will be presented.
OUTLINE and TOPICS: The tutorial will introduce
software testing techniques and methods for reliable testing and software
quality assurance. Major topics
include:
1. Overview of Testing
2. Mathematical Foundations of Testing
3. A Perspective on Testing
4. Example Software
5. Functional Testing Techniques
Boundary Value Testing Methods
Equivalence Class Testing Methods
Decision
Table Based Testing Methods
Comparisons of Functional Testing Techniques
6. Structural Testing Techniques
Path Based Testing Methods
Data Flow Testing Methods
Comparisons of Structural Testing Techniques
7. Integration Testing, System Testing, and
Object–Oriented Testing
Required Background and Target Audience: Background in computer or Information systems. Software programmers/developers, software
professionals, interested participants in software engineering, and testing
researchers and instructors.
Tutorial Duration
: 2-3 Hours.
Method of Presentation: Transparencies and overhead
projector. Tutorial notes will be made
available.
