Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.1 What’s this unit about?

Course subject(s) Module 2. Functional Testing

Requirements are the most important artifact we can use to test our software! In this week, you will:

  • Learn how to read a requirement and derive the partitions, which are the actual concrete tests we will perform to make sure our system works (we call it partitioning and equivalent partitioning).
  • Learn how to think about and test possible corner cases, as developers often forget to deal with such cases (we call it boundary testing).
  • Get a few tips, based on empirical experience, on common corner cases.

Let’s get started!
