Content

In this course, you will understand the importance of software quality assurance and testing as part of the software production process. You will learn key concepts such as unit testing, system testing, and acceptance testing, and how to design useful test cases from a product development perspective. You will be introduced to exploratory testing methods and learn to apply them in practice. The course equips you with the skills to use essential testing tools, distinguish between manual testing and test automation, and apply test automation tools for regression testing.

The student gets to know the concepts and methods of software testing in a group or independently. The subject areas and methods to be learned are applied to practice tasks and the simulation of the testing process. Different exercises strengthen the mastery of concepts and methods.
