Course Objectives

After the completion of the course, the participants would be able to:
- Understand the Requirement Based Testing (RBT) process
- Understand and appreciate the need for Requirement based Testing
- Identify important ambiguities in requirements specifications before coding starts
- Translate requirements specifications into cause-effect graphs to verify accuracy and completeness
- Design a set of test cases to validate that all requirements are implemented
- Quantify and accurately measure the progress of your testing efforts

Day 1
