This set of MCQ(multiple choice questions) focuses on the Software Testing NPTEL Week 3 Solutions.
Over the years program several testing techniques have developed and tools have become available. Also, testing has been acknowledged as the primary technique for ensuring software reliability. The course would provide a brief introduction to test process and techniques available for black box and white box test case design. Integration, system and regression testing would also be discussed. A few of the test tools would be discussed and the participants would be encouraged to use.
