Suggested List of Experiments:

1. Implement all techniques of Black Box-Testing, White Box Testing taking your Mini
Project as the Context System.
2. Write a program to find the roots of a quadratic equation and perform boundary value
analysis.
3. Write a program to find area of circle, square, triangle and rectangle and perform
equivalence class testing.
4. Write a program to perform a raise to power b and perform decision table testing.
5. Write a program to compute previous date, given present date as input and perform
decision table testing.

6. Write a program to read three sides of a triangle and determine whether they form
scalene, isosceles or equivalent triangle and test it using cause – effect testing
techniques.
7. Write a program to calculate total salary of an employee, given his salary. The slab is
as follows HRA=30% of basic salary,DA=80% of basic slary,MA=100,TA=800,Income
tax=700,Pf=780. Draw its path graph and finds its V(G) by all three methods.
8. Draw a DD path graph for the program written for experiment 6.
9. Write a program to read the marks of 10 students in 5 subjects calculate the average
and assign grades. Now draw its graph matrix and find its V(G).
10. Perform Data Flow Testing on the program for quadratic equation program.
11. Case study on Testing Tool-QTP.

Instructional Method:
a. The course delivery method will depend upon the requirement of content and need
of students. The teacher in may be using following teaching approaches: black board,
or use of any of tools such as demonstration, role play, Quiz, brainstorming, MOOCs
etc.
b. The internal evaluation will be done on the basis of continuous evaluation of students
in the laboratory and class-room.
c. Practical examination/Viva will be conducted at the end of semester for evaluation of
performance of students in laboratory.
d. Students will use supplementary resources such as online videos, NPTEL videos, e-
courses, Virtual Laboratory.
