This directed studies course will introduce in the foundations and applications of techniques to test complex software systems. Testing is one of the most frequently used software quality assurance techniques in practice. We will discuss the nature and inherent limitations of software testing, testing techniques used at different stages of the software development process, and consider tools that support software testing. The participants will learn to assess software testing techniques and to design test strategies and procedure when responsible for software testing, for instance as software developers, software project managers or software testing engineers.
