About the course

Modern software development is an error-prone process. The programmer must have every tool at his disposal to reduce the number of faults. One way of finding faults is by testing the system and comparing the behaviour of the system with what is expected. In this course, you will learn modern theory and practice of testing and how these techniques can be applied to your own programming projects.
