About C.V.Raman College of Engineering :
C.V.Raman College of Engineering Bhubaneswar was established in the year of 1997 in the name of Nobel laureate Sir C.V.Raman with an objective to impart quality education and training leading to BTech, MTech, MBA and MCA. This college is an ISO 9001:2008 certified, NBA, NAAC accredited technical institution approved by AICTE and affiliated to BPUT Orissa.
Outline and Objective of the workshop :
Software is both a product and a vehicle for developing a product. Software is engineered, not manufactured…. Software Engineering a Practitioner’s approach by R. Pressman. Quality and Reliability of software depends on the extent of validating and verifying the product against some defined principles. Adequate software testing is thus a challenge with increasing demand for frequent changes to software.
Software testing using an automatic test program will generally avoid the errors that humans make when they get tired after multiple repetitions. The test program won't skip any tests by mistake. The test program can also record the results of the test accurately. The results can be automatically fed into a database that may provide useful statistics on how well the software development process is going. On the other hand, software that is tested manually will be tested with a randomness that helps find bugs in more varied situations. Since a software program usually won't vary each time it is run, it may not find some bugs that manual testing will. Automated software testing is not substitute for manual testing but supplements the testing process.
Success in test automation requires careful planning and design work, and it's not a universal solution. ... .. Automated testing should not be considered a replacement for hand testing, but rather as an enhancement." --- Software Testing with Visual Test 4.0, foreword by James Bach
A typical automated test management system includes:
• Test case and test suite management
• Test cycle and test release management
• Planning, group tasking and scheduling
• Defect tracking
• Trend analysis
• Traceability
This two-day workshop aims at understanding the foundations of automated software testing. Participants will greatly benefit by getting exposure and hands-on with automated testing tools, testing standards and best practices used in the software industry.
