===== Description  =====

The course introduces systematic methods of testing and verifying various types of software systems covering a range of static and dynamic techniques and their use within the development process. All too often software is designed and then tested. The real aim must be to take a more holistic view, where design is carried out with verification in mind to achieve overall project goals. 

Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to: 

  * Outline the objectives and limits of testing.
  * Describe the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques discussed in the course.
  * Select appropriate testing techniques for a given situation. 
  * Develop test harnesses for large software systems.
  * Submit issue reports that are clear and complete.
  * Produce quality written reports describing their testing.
