Workshop Overview

The success of testing in any project is primarily centered on how the Test Cases are designed and written for the various complex scenarios present in the project. This course outlines the various ways in which Test Design can be done using two techniques – All pairs and Orthogonal Arrays.

Workshop Benefits
