Software Testing 2022/23 spring

Here you find all materials related to labs (practice sessions) and homework (HW) assignments. Labs should be done in pairs. Per student pair only one HW report needs to be submitted. Make sure to write both students' names in the report (ideally together with the students' university ID (matrikel)). Students forming a pair must be in the same lab group (practice group).

Disclaimer 1: We assume that you are using the free laptops handed out to all students (sponsored by the IT Academy) with the pre-installed environment (Windows). We test all lab packages in this environment. Occasionally, we test the lab packages also on other environments (e.g., MacOS) but we cannot test the lab packages on all possible platforms and configurations individually chosen by students. Thus, if you are not using the standard environment, it is your responsibility to solve set-up problems in case you encounter them with any of the lab packages.

Disclaimer 2: The following schedule might be updated as needed.
