Practice on an app you can run yourself

Download the workshop booking app and use it on your own computer. Follow the 11-minute video, then work through the guided exercises at your own pace. You will check which quantities the app accepts, compare the response with the saved record, and investigate a fault at the upper limit. The package includes the app, automated checks, test-case and defect-report templates, and worked examples.

What you will be able to do

  • Choose boundary tests from a written rule and explain why each case belongs.

  • Compare the app's response with the saved record before deciding whether a test passed.

  • Write a defect report that another person can use to reproduce the problem.

  • Run the same checks against a supplied repair and keep evidence of the results.
