How do you know what to test?

There seems to never be enough time (or money or people) to adequately test systems. Rapid cycle times brought on by the adoption of agile approaches only seem to make things worse.

Even with automated systems for running tests, you’re still left with the time-consuming problem of designing many test cases.

In this webinar will introduce you to a simple yet powerful technique for modeling functional requirements and a tool that uses those models to generate effective test cases.

This approach can be used for unit testing, user testing, and more. Tests can be developed from early specifications (use cases and user stories) and in response to bug reports.

You’ll see how to easily produce a good set of test cases – exhaustive enough to give your software a good workout, but intelligent enough not to waste time and effort.
