Testing Basics: Introduction to Systematic Testing

Software systems are taking on an increasing number of safety-critical functions in technical installations. Accordingly, it is becoming increasingly important that such systems operate without errors. In practice, systematic testing is the most important measure for analytical quality assurance. It can account for up to 50% of the total development effort. A systematic approach to testing is therefore essential for conducting it efficiently and successfully.

Objectives and Benefits

After completing the seminar, you will have a solid overview of systematic testing methods. Exercises and numerous real-world case studies will reinforce the theoretical foundations of these methods. You will understand that the testing process has a decisive influence on the quality of a software system. In addition, you will gain insight into the practical integration of testing activities into the development process.
