All students who sign up for the Test Design course must have successfully completed the BBST® Foundations course.

The BBST® Test Design course aims to help you become a more adaptable tester, giving you the knowledge to thrive in this fast-paced industry. You will learn to design powerful tests that lead to the discovery of important bugs with both exploratory testing and test automation. The course introduces a collection of 75 testing techniques and then presents the following subset of them in detail:

  • functional testing and tours
  • risk-based testing
  • spec-based testing
  • scenario testing
  • domain testing
  • multivariable testing

You will get extensive practice with the six techniques above, and a good understanding of their core strengths, their limitations and their applicability to your own context.
