Discussion Topics:

• What makes a test case effective, and how do you prioritize test cases?
• How do you structure a test report to communicate findings to stakeholders?
• Discuss the challenges of balancing thorough test case design with project deadlines.
• How can test reports influence future development and testing cycles?

Lesson Summary: Students focus on designing effective test cases and writing test reports. Practical exercises use C compilers, with assessments through lab performance, viva, and lab final. This week reinforces CLO2 (applying testing knowledge) and CLO3 (problem-solving through testing).

Instructions for Lab Report 7:

Lab Report 7: White Box Testing with Basic Path Testing

Objective: Apply Basic Path Testing to achieve code coverage using White Box Testing.

Learning Outcome: Students will be able to create control flow graphs and design test cases to cover independent code paths, demonstrating knowledge of structural testing (CLO1, PLO1, Cognitive Domain: Analyze - C4).

Tools Required: Any C Compiler.

Instructions:

1. Select a program with control structures (e.g., loops, conditionals).
2. Draw a control flow graph (CFG) for the program.
3. Identify independent paths using Basic Path Testing principles.
4. Design test cases to cover all independent paths.
5. Execute the test cases and document code coverage metrics.

Deliverables:

• A lab report with the CFG, test cases, execution results, and coverage analysis.
• Include code snippets and coverage metrics.

Assessment: Lab Performance (CLO1, PLO1).
