• Performing mutation testing using Jumble
• Analyzing performance of websites using JMeter
• Using EclEmma for coverage analysis
• Testing real-world applications

Importance:

The Software Testing and Validation Lab plays a crucial role in ensuring software quality. It bridges the gap between development and testing, preparing students for roles like QA Engineer, Test Engineer, and Software Developer by providing hands-on experience with modern testing tools and methodologies.

RTU Software Testing and Validation Lab Experiments:

1. a) Write a program that calculates the area and perimeter of a circle and find the test cases & coverage using JaButi.

b) Write a program to read first name and last name from console and match expected results using JaButi.

c) Write a program to solve quadratic equation using coefficients a, b, and c.

d) Write a program to read website URL from file (format: www.example.com) and extract site name. Perform testing using JaButi.

e) Write a calculator program and find test cases, coverage, and Def-use graph.

f) Write a program to compare two passwords and output length of smaller word. Test using JaButi.

2. Analyze the performance of the following websites using Apache JMeter:

• Amazon (Shopping)
• Flipkart (Shopping)
• IRCTC (Ticket Booking)
• eRail (Train Searching)

3. Calculate the mutation score of programs given in Experiment 1 (a–f) using Jumble Tool.

4. Perform coverage analysis of programs given in Experiment 1 (a–f) using EclEmma tool.
