This is HBT Series Workshop details on Robust Test Design, presented by CleanSoft Academy. The workshop is delivered in two modes - open workshop (1 day) and as corporate workshop tailored to meet specific needs of software companies.

1. Robust Test Design
A HBT Series Workshop
www.cleansoft.in

2. It is all about COVERAGE.
This workshop takes a scientific
approach to designing test
cases that are adequate yet
optimal.
Coverage is the key property
that needs to be satisfied by test design.
How do we know if the “net” that we have designed to catch
the fishes(“defects”) is broad, deep, strong and fine?
Designing test cases that are complete and optimal
is seen as challenging.

3. Can we prove that the test cases are complete?
This workshop outlines a scientific approach to designing test
scenarios/cases.
A level based design approach with behavior modeling based design
ensures scenarios/cases that can proved to be complete.
Fault traceability, Countability are two key properties to ensure
adequacy.
Countability ensures that the # of scenarios/cases can be logically
proven to be sufficient, while Fault traceability is about ensuring that
test scenarios/cases indeed have the power to detect the potential
defects that been hypothesized.
Answer: Yes. It can be logically proven.

4. “Robust Test Design”
is Powered by HBT
Hypothesis Based Testing (HBT), a personal scientific test
methodology powered by STEMTM uses a level based design,
modeling behavior at each level to design scenarios/cases The HBT Test Case Architecture
that trace to potential defect types hypothesized. provides a clear form and
structure to ensure that the test
cases are goal-oriented and
complete.
