教学目标 Course Objectives
This course will introduce systematic and organized approaches to software testing This course will also provide an
overview of the concepts of software testing, including unit testing, integration testing and various testing coverage
criteria. This course also aims to introduce several program analysis techniques from the perspective of testing. This
course also could provide hands-on experience on some well-known research prototypes in software testing.
16.
预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes
1. Students will learn about the several software development and testing terminologies that will be useful for answering
common questions in programming interviews.
2. Students will learn how to systematically test a program and fulfil several coverage criteria.
3. Students will learn about advanced program analysis techniques to model software for testing.
4. Students will have the opportunity to try several testing techniques that could automatically generate test inputs during
software development.
5. Students will be able to apply their testing knowledge on a group-based software project.

Week
Hours
Description
Week 1: Introduction
2
This class will give a brief overview of the consequences of software
errors and the importance of finding bugs earlier in the software
development.
Week 2: Example Testing
Session
2
In this class, students will have the opportunity to walk through a bug-
finding and testing session. Students will also get a brief overview
about some commonly used testing terminologies.
Week 3: Unit Testing
(JUnit)
2
This class will introduce the concepts of unit testing and the different
levels of testing through several examples.
Week 4: Test Driven
Development (TDD)
2
This class will introduce a software development approach where
students will write specifications as executable test code before
writing the complete source code.
Week 5: Statement
Coverage
2
This class will introduce several metrics used to access the quality of
test cases. The basic metrics include statement coverage and branch
coverage.
Week 6: Graph Coverage
2
This class will continue introducing other more completed metrics
used to access the quality of test cases. Moreover, students will learn
about different representations of software programs that are
important in program analysis.
Week 7: Data flow
coverage
2
This class will introduce more metrics used to access the quality of
test cases.
Week 8: Graph Coverage
for Specifications
2
This class will teach students about how to design programs by
writing specifications.
Week 9: Logic Testing
2
This class will introduce another way of modeling software by
representing programs based on its logics.
Week 10: Logic Coverage
2
This class will introduce the concepts of logic coverage and other
coverage criteria, including predicate coverage and clause coverage.
Week 11: Input Space
Partitioning
2
This class will introduce an approach to systematically test a program
by dividing the input space based on the given types of inputs.
Week 12: Mutation Testing
2
This class will introduce the concepts of mutations and how small
program modifications could be used to model potential software
bugs.
Week 13: Regression
Testing
2
This class will talk about a practical testing approach that is
commonly used to ensure that new changes introduced to a software
does not break existing functionalities of the program.
4
Week 14: Continuous
Integration
2
This class will introduce the concepts of continuous integration and
how continuous integration affects software development and testing.
Week 15: Finding bugs in
Java programs with
Automated Testing Tools
2
This class will introduce existing approaches in automatically
generate test cases for Java programs.
Week 16: Finding bugs in
Android apps with
Automated Testing Tools
2
This class will introduce existing approaches in automatically
generate test cases for Android apps.

• The class project will be a group-based project where students will be divided into groups of size 2/3. The objective
of the project is to allow student to apply the knowledge that they learn in the class to testing real-world applications.
Students in each group will get to choose from a list of open-source software projects for testing. For each week,
students will apply the testing techniques/criteria that they learn from the class in their selected project and write a
report on the effectiveness of the employed technique. At the end of the semester, each group will need to submit a
final report that compares all techniques applied in each week and summarizes their findings. Below is the tentative
schedule for the class project:
• Measuring code coverage on software projects (2 hours)
• Manual Testing on software projects (2 hours)
• Automated Testing on software projects (2 hours)
