VII. SUGGESTED MICRO PROJECT / ASSIGNMENT/ ACTIVITIES FOR SPECIFIC LEARNING /

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT (SELF LEARNING)

Micro project

Test the checkout process in an online clothing store.

Validate the functionality of a product search feature in an electronics e-commerce site.
Validate the functionality of a weather API in a mobile app.
Evaluate the performance of a login page under different user loads.
Validate the accuracy of patient data in a hospital management system.
Any micro project topic suggested by faculty on similar line.

Other

Complete the Software Testing course NPTEL Platform.

Complete the Software Testing Fundamentals course Infosys Springboard.

Assignment

Explain various types of Software Testing methods.

Draw defect prevention process cycle. State working of each phase.
Design test cases for online mobile recharge.
Differentiate between Smoke Testing and Sanity Testing.
Describe need for automation testing tools.

Note :

Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
For courses with no SLA component the list of suggestive microprojects / assignments/ activities are
optional, faculty may encourage students to perform these tasks for enhanced learning experiences.
If the course does not have associated SLA component, above suggestive listings is applicable to Tutorials
and maybe considered for FA-PR evaluations.
