Enseignement de Master - CSC7334 : Software Model Based Testing

Descriptif

The main objective of this course is the study of existing testing techniques for different types of software used in telecommunications. The students should learn how to estimate the software quality from a tester point of view and which formal models can be used to derive high quality tests or to verify the correctness of certain properties of software components of discrete event systems.
At the end of the course, the successful students should know and be able to effectually apply:

  • Most popular test derivation strategies and their fault coverage;
  • Existing active and passive testing techniques allowing to conclude about the software quality.

Classes are supported by research and development projects, implemented in groups or individually.
Lecturers:Drs. Natalia Kushik and Jorge López (TSP)
