Activity: How do you test?
(no submission)Purpose:
- Make (more) friends, get to know others, and think about your study group(s)
- Share opinion / experience related to software testing
- Start thinking about the principles of software testing
You will have ~15 minutes to complete this activity. You may work on this activity individually or collaboratively. Feel free to use Zoom chat or any communication channels to form a team. Work with your peer to complete the following tasks.
Tasks:
Suppose you are testing the following artifacts (we will call them Subject Under Test, SUT).SUT 1: Expo markers
Design tests to test Expo markers.
- How do you test?
- How many tests do you need?
- Have you tested enough? How to tell?
- Are your tests good enough? How to tell? — Not seeing a problem does not mean there is no problem!!
SUT 2: Prime numbers
Create tests for PrimeNumbers.java.
- How do you test?
- How many tests do you need?
- Have you tested enough? How to tell?
- Are your tests good enough? How to tell? — Not seeing a problem does not mean there is no problem!!
SUT 2': Prime numbers (again)
Use your favorite Generative AI to create tests for PrimeNumbers.java.
- How many tests does the AI generate?
- Inspect and analyze the tests. What aspects or criteria do the tests cover? Happy paths? Non-happy paths?
- Do the tests adequately test the program? How to tell?
- Are the tests good enough? How to tell? — Not seeing a problem does not mean there is no problem!!
- Compare the tests that you created and the tests AI generated. What are they in common? What are the differences? Is there anything missing?
Be prepared to share ideas / solutions that your team discussed with the class.
[Optional] Let's try something fun — How about bypass testing Google search page?
Mimic Google search form
