“Creating Real-World Test Cases using Extension to Noun
and Verb technique”
This tutorial presents an Extension of Noun and Verb Technique.
Most of the structured test design techniques are
useful when detailed requirements are available. Even with
detailed requirements, the existing test design techniques
leave many holes some of which are covered by ad-hoc
or exploratory testing and other experience based techniques.
Extension to noun and verb technique can help create
test cases even when requirements are sketchy. This
technique can help create test cases of varying complexity
and it also allows creation of scenario based tests.
The technique has successfully been used on various projects
with great results.
Agenda
• Challenges when requirements are missing
• Limitations of existing test design techniques
• Introduction to Noun and Verb technique
• Extending the Noun and Verb technique
• Example: Application of the technique
• Exercise: Writing tests using the technique
• Caveats
• Conclusion

“The foundation of Load Testing”
Load & performance currently belongs to the top ten on the
list of most critical aspects of a company its credibility, either
towards the internal productivity or even the external
visibility of the company via websites. But what does “Load
& Performance” mean for the different parties during the
life-cycle the application and how effective can we measure
them? The most nagging questions: “How well will our
servers cope with high volume of users? Did the design of
our back-end architecture meet the “real world” its expectations?
How our end-users and customers use our systems?”
To provide founded answers instead of guessing
the probable outcome of these questions, a well planned
and controlled Load & Performance test is needed.
This half day tutorial will get you acquainted with the used
terminology and aspects of Load & Performance testing;
giving you a first insight into the differed process stages
needed to setup successful the load test. We will touch the
aspect of information, which is requested at meetings concerning
the design and architecture of a load test. Also we
will talk about the ways of implementation, testing aspects
& the use of measurements. Tips regarding the load test
automations, how to improve setting a stage for a load test
as well as an insight on what needs to be modify scripts will
be provided during the sessions.

„Writing Software Requirements - Excellence is not difficult”
This tutorial will change you view on requirements. We
will address and analyze the typical problems of specifying
requirements and we will collectively develop solutions
for the problems addressed. After a short presentation of
the essential quality criteria for requirements and some
hands-on methods and hints for writing good requirements,
the participants will analyse some requirements in groups.
After discussing the analysis results, the participants will
apply their new skills to improve some of the requirements. So
you see this is more a tutorial with workshop characteristics.
The participants are asked to bring in their individual problems
with requirements and the tutorial will focus on solving
these problems. Therefore the participants are asked
to send their ‘problems’ to the conference organizer 2
weeks in advance in advance, so that we can anonymise
the requirements and select some to be used in the tutorial.
