My First “Test Case….”
Summary of what I have learnt in the contest is to create my own test case.
I had an opportunity to participate in “IEEE Software Testing Contest” hosted by UT Dallas which was held on 7th November. The contest was to develop test case for java programs.
“First, solve the problem. Then, write the code”
Before the contest, a tutorial on Software Testing and Junit was provided. That helped me troubleshoot any Technical issues.

After the tutorial on Software Testing, the IEEE Software Testing contest began. In the contest, we had to design our own Test case based on the source code of the java programs.
Software plays an integral part in our daily lives because of its near ubiquitous influence in our increasingly technological society. Therefore, taking appropriate steps to apply software testing techniques is of paramount importance.
In this contest, there was a self-paced practice session ‘ASAP’, which helped in preparing myself for the contest.

The environment in this contest was totally different. All the details were in “Mooctest.net” was in Chinese language. After changing the language, it became much easier to design our test case in that website.
“You can be a great tester if you have programming skills. You can also be a great tester if you have no programming skills at all. And, you can be a lousy tester with or without programming skills. A great tester will learn what skills she needs to continue to be great, in her own style”
I started to write the test case for the first program. It was quite difficult to proceed with the test case, without knowing the basics in Software Testing.
“No amount of testing can prove a software right, a single test can prove a software wrong”
Finally, I have earned a certificate in this contest. I am thankful to everyone who conducted this contest. It was a great opportunity to know about the Software Testing.
I would like to thank Dr. Krishnapriya, for helping me in all possible ways.
