Software Testing Foundations

Software systems are increasingly ubiquitous in all aspects of our lives. Failures in these systems can be costly in terms of money, time, and business reputation. Some software failures can even result in personal injury or death. Effective software testing is integral to mitigating harm caused by software failures and providing confidence in software systems.

This path of courses introduces the objectives, principles, psychology, ethics, and fundamental processes associated with software testing. It covers testing throughout the software life cycle, static techniques, and test design techniques including black-box and white-box testing. You'll learn about test management, including planning, configuration, monitoring, and risk management. Finally, you'll learn about the tool support for testing – the types of tools available and how to introduce tools to your organization.

Courses in this collection:

• Software Testing Foundations: Testing throughout the Software Life Cycle.
• Software Testing Foundations: Static, Dynamic, Black-box, and White-box Testing.
• Software Testing Foundations: Test Planning, Management, and Tool Support.
