2. When we talk about test coverage and finding the right bugs at the right time, we need to be sure of how effective we
can be with the use of Techniques and the skill we have. Very recently James Bach has spoken at Test Bash 2013 about
one of the heuristics of boundary testing called Galumphing”; it was a very informative and interesting talk; In light of
the same, we have developed a complete workshop encompassing not only “Galumphing” but also “Steeplechase”
and “Leap and Creep” heuristics in one complete workshop.
This workshop introduces you to Context Driven approach to boundary testing and teaches you how to do it by
practical computer application exercises. So you can learn to perform such testing and also write good reports
reflecting your test story.
