SOFTWARE TESTING (IIITB)

PROF. MEENAKSHI D'SOUZA


Department of Computer Science and Engineering
IIT Kharagpur

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Any Interested Learners


PRE-REQUISITES: Programming, Algorithms, Discrete Mathematics (basics)
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: The material of this course has been used to offer training for Samsung, ABB
and Mindtree. The course will be useful for any firm that does tests their software.

COURSE OUTLINE:
This course will cover various techniques for test case design, as used for testing of software artifacts
including requirements, design and code. We will discuss algorithms and techniques for test case design
based on graphs, logic, syntax of programming languages and on inputs. Special techniques for testing
object-oriented features and web applications will also be discussed. The course will end with symbolic
testing techniques. These broadly will cover test cases for both white-box and black-box.

ABOUT INSTRCTOR:
Prof. Meenakshi D'souza is currently an Associate Professor at [Link] did her Master
TMs in Mathematics from University of Madras, Chennai and her Ph. D. in Theoretical Computer
Science from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. She joined the research department of
Honeywell Technology Solutions, Bangalore soon after completing her Ph. D. and worked there in the
areas of Formal Verification of Software Design, Model Based Development and Physical Access
Control before joining IIIT-Bangalore. Her research interests are in Formal Methods, Model Based
Development,Software Testing and Automata Theory.
