Decision Analysis and Management: System Testing & Reliability

“A large part of managing risk in today s complex systems is system testing and validation. Implementing effective testing strategies throughout the system life cycle results in stable and reliable systems.

In this course you will learn how testing and validation helps to ensure system functionality and performance. You will explore how to develop and apply common system tests through the system life cycle and discover how to analyze the results of those tests and match tests to system requirements. Next you will learn useful testing techniques like prototyping simulation and utilizing user feedback. Finally you will examine some case studies that show what can happen when proper system testing is not followed.”
