Requirements-Based Testing
Overview
This course presents a set of practical, yet rigorous, techniques for testing requirements to ensure that your project's requirements are complete, consistent, accurate, and unambiguous.
Objectives
After the completion of the course, participants would be able to:
- Understand the Requirement Based Testing (RBT) process
- 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
