TDDD04 Software Testing

Laborations


There are many test strategies and test tools, and you will get the chance to try some of them in the lab series. The labs are a mandatory part of the course, but still, you are required to sign up for the lab series. Pair up with a fellow student, log in to Webreg and sign up for the labs as soon as possible. We will, if necessary, move students between groups to make the work load of different groups even. Make it easier by signing up to the group with most places left. If any special circumstances make you wish to work individually you are obliged to contact an assistant and get an explicit accept for that, though it's very hard to get such exceptions this year.

Registration

Registrations for the labs is done using webreg. Sign-up deadline is April 3.

OBS: To carry out labs for this course, storage quota of each student registered for this course has been increased from 100MB to 250MB. This extra quota may expire any time after the course *officially* ends and will be reset to 100MB again. Please do not forget to move your material in excess of 100MB from your account before possibly June 2013 to avoid loss of any important data.

OBS: If you are having performance issues with VS 2010 on machines at PC labs, you can temporarily copy your project/solution to "c:\users\[USERNAME]\" and run/compile it from there. We don't know exactly how much it can improve performance but it may worth a try in case you are facing slowdown. If you do this, Please remember that the "c:\users\[USERNAME]\" directory may not persist after you logout. So, if you run your project from "c:\users\[USERNAME]\", be sure to copy updated contents back to your z drive before you logout. Also, you need to delete your project from "c:\users\[USERNAME]\" each time before getting logout as it can result in serious performance implications for both you and others.
