Introduction to automated analysis

• Course 3 • 19 hours • 4.2 (77 ratings)

Course Details

What will you learn?

• This course introduces advanced techniques for automated analysis. Automated analysis includes approaches to generating a very large number of tests to check whether software meets requirements, as well as ways to prove that the software conforms to requirements and is free from common defects such as division by zero, weighting/underweighting, locking, freedom from race conditions, buffer overflows/underruns, uncaught exceptions, and several other bugs that can cause software errors or security issues.
• The learner will become familiar with the basic theory and applications of these approaches and apply automated analysis methods to example programs.

After completing the course, the learner will be able to:

• Understand the basics of automated verification: randomization and symbolic representations
• Distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages of random testing, symbolic analysis, static analysis, and model testing.
• Use a variety of advanced static analysis and automated testing tools for automated verification
• Create executable requirements as an oracle suitable for automated testing and symbolic analysis
• Understand how Oracle selection impacts defect detection for automated analysis strategies
• Use automated testing to achieve full mutation coverage
• Create a test plan that utilizes both manually written and automated tests to maximize accuracy, minimize effort and time, and reduce testing costs.

This course is designed for learners who are interested in understanding the principles of automation and the application of analysis tools to software testing. This knowledge will be useful for a variety of roles, such as:

• Software Engineer
• Software Test Engineer
• Test Automation Engineer
• DevOps Engineer
• Software developer
• programmer
• Computer enthusiast

Course requirements:

• Introduction to the software development life cycle
• Understanding of software testing fundamentals, such as those covered in Introduction to Software Testing and Black Box and White Box Testing.
• Familiarity with an object-oriented language such as Java or the ability to quickly learn Java syntax to write and modify code, and a willingness to use preferred tools and IDEs.

Skills you have acquired

Web and mobile testing with Selenium

• Course 4 • 20 hours • 4.0 (70 ratings)

Course Details

What will you learn?

• Modern applications we build always involve interaction with users through web-based and mobile platforms.
• Users interact with the software through these interfaces, and the experiences these interfaces provide greatly influence the perceived quality of the software.
• The pace at which modern applications launch new versions and features requires careful prioritization of testing efforts and rapid execution through automation.
• The techniques and methods for testing such applications will be the focus of the course.
• We will cover key concepts related to testing web and mobile platforms, basic techniques, and using Selenium as a framework for automating such application testing.

The learner will acquire a solid foundation in web and mobile testing principles and the ability to use a testing framework to automate test execution.
