Requirements Based Testing


Workshop Overview

One of the basic activities in Testing includes comparing of the Expected Output with the Actual Output. The source for getting the Expected Output is the Requirements. Unfortunately, most specifications are not sufficiently detailed to define the Expected Results or Outputs. 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.

Workshop Benefits

After the completion of the course, the participants would be able to:
  • Understand the Requirement Based Testing (RBT) process
  • Understand and appreciate the need for Requirement based Testing
  • 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
