Workshop Overview Test Design Techniques have been available for a number of years, but they are becoming more and more important. In fact they form the basis for risk based testing - the test design techniques used in a project define the depth, coverage, effectiveness and efficiency of the tests. In fact it is a sine qua non: no test design techniques imply no risk based testing and unpredictable test coverage. The test design techniques are based on the well-known principles (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, condition/decision coverage, operational use, etc.). This set of test design techniques form a very useful set of techniques for all the different purposes: testing functionality, stress and performance testing, usability testing, etc. By using test design techniques the test process becomes less dependent on the personal skills of that one good tester in the organisation, tests can truly be prepared and performed according to the risks, available resources, etc. - in fact the test process can be controlled adequately. Test Design Techniques will be explained by using "real life" examples and will integrate several cases for the delegates in the tutorial. Key Points 1. Test design techniques are the basis for
risk based testing Supporting Information At several European conferences this tutorial has been successfully taught. The Test Design Techniques are described in the Test Management approach TMap®. The following books have been published on TMap and contain the Test Design Techniques: English: "Systematic Testing of Information Systems according to TMap®", Addison-Wesley, 2002, ISBN 0-201-74571-2. Dutch: "Testen volgens TMap®", ISBN 90-72194-58-6. German: "Management und Optimierung des Testprocesses .Ein praktischer Leitfaden für erfolgreiches Testen von Software mit TPI and TMap.", ISBN 3-932588-65-7 Since 1989 Ruud
has performed numerous test roles throughout his career. He participated
in the development of the Test Management Approach TMap® and is
co-author of several books on structured testing. Ruud is a frequent
speaker at (inter)national conferences and former member of the program
committee for Quality Week Europe and EuroSTAR.
