Requirements
Course project and an exam. The project includes multiple phases and is done in pairs. The learning outcomes of the course correspond to an average student (grade 3).
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning outcomes
The student will know the basic principles and techniques of testing at unit, integration, system and acceptance testing levels and how to apply them in software engineering including all software life cycle phases. The student recognizes such testing related tasks that can be automated either partially or fully using tools. In addition, the student knows how to use at least one automation tool.
