Audience: F.E. A1,A2, (Computer Engineering) and F.E. D (IT)

The Association of Computer Engineers organized a demonstration on “Automation Testing” for Aarush 2024.  The event commenced with a warm welcome address byMs. Harshal Salunke, a first-year computer engineering student who introduced the distinguished speaker, Mr. Neeraj Yadav. Mr. Neeraj is a software engineer at Infuse and an alumnus of PCCE Goa.  Ms. Vidya G, a Computer Engineering department faculty, then welcomed Mr. Yadav with a floral bouquet.

Mr. Yadav began the session by engaging students with questions about the basics of software testing, such as its definition, the types of products involved in testing, and key attributes considered during testing of various products. He then provided a detailed overview of software testing, emphasizing the differences between Manual Testing and Automation Testing.
