Software Testing

Date and Time: 
Thursday, April 7th, 2016
Location: 
Center Green
Speaker: 
Jeffrey Carver

In this tutorial, we will cover some of the basic approaches to software testing including: various types of coverage-based testing, testing based on program graphs, input space testing, data flow testing, and syntax-based testing. In addition to providing the theoretical background and explanation for each type of testing, attendees will work through some hands-on exercises. Attendees are encouraged to bring some of their own code segments to use in the hands-on portion of the tutorial. If time permits, we will also introduce the concepts of Test Driven Development.
