| Course Description | It is generally accepted that it is not possible to create perfect software. It is therefore necessary to test software before it is released to the users to reduce the risk of mistakes in software production having a negative impact when the software is used. It is equally necessary to ensure that testing is performed well. This course specifies definitions and concepts, test processes, test documentation, test techniques in software engineering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
