The workshop is principally aimed at testers and test engineers who have already attended the Test techniques – Foundation level course who want to improve the quality and effectiveness of the tests they (or their testers) design, and who want to ensure that they are fully aware of current best industry practices.

The objectives for introduction to test techniques:

·       To give attendees an awareness of the benefits of using static analysis to identify test objectives and risks

·       To give attendees experience in applying static analysis & structure-based test design techniques

·       To give attendees experience in applying black-box approaches to business process via use-cases

·       To give attendees an appreciation of how test techniques are appropriate for different systems under test and/or different levels of risk

·       To give attendees an appreciation of how these techniques are used to create test cases and measure test coverage

·       Static analysis & dynamic testing

·       Control flow analysis

·       Data flow analysis

·       System architectures and call graph analysis

·       Dynamic white-box testing

·       Condition, decision/condition, modified condition decision, multiple condition testing

·       Path testing

·       Dynamic black-box testing

·       Use-case testing

·       Choosing test techniques

There are no formal entry requirements, but this course follows on from techniques covered in the Test Techniques- Foundation Level
