JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives:

To understand the software testing methodologies such as flow graphs and path testing, transaction flows testing, data flow testing, domain testing and logic base testing.

Course Outcomes:

• Ability to apply the process of testing and various methodologies in testing for developed software.
• Ability to write test cases for given software to test it before delivery to the customer.
