It is all about COVERAGE.

Coverage is the key property that needs to be satisfied by test design.

How do we know if the “net” that we have designed to catch

the fishes(“defects”) is broad, deep, strong and fine?

Designing test cases that are complete and optimal is seen as challenging.

This workshop takes a scientific approach to designing test cases that are adequate yet optimal.


Can we prove that the test cases are complete?

This workshop outlines a scientific approach to designing test scenarios/cases.

A level based design approach with behavior modeling based design ensures scenarios/cases that can proved to be complete.

Fault traceability, Countability are two key properties to ensure adequacy.

Countability ensures that the # of scenarios/cases can be logically proven to be sufficient, while Fault traceability is about ensuring that test scenarios/cases indeed have the power to detect the potential defects that been hypothesized.

Answer: Yes. It can be logically proven.


“Robust Test Design”is Powered by HBT

Hypothesis Based Testing (HBT), a personal scientific test methodology powered by STEMTM uses a level based design, modeling behavior at each level to design scenarios/cases that trace to potential defect types hypothesized.

STEM (STAG Test Engineering Method) is the trademark of STAG Software Pvt. Ltd.

Organized by Quality levels sub-ordered by items (features/modules..), segregated by type, ranked by importance/priority, sub-divided into conformance(+) and robustness(-), classified by early (smoke)/late-stage evaluation, tagged by evaluation frequency, linked by optimal execution order, classified by execution mode (manual/automated)

The HBT Test Case Architecture provides a clear form and structure to ensure that the test cases are goal-oriented and complete.
