Mathematics and Algorithms in Testing

In the previous chapters, we learned about different types of testing across the test pyramid. In Chapter 5, Testing Automation Patterns, we deepened our knowledge of UI/E2E testing, which, for better or for worse, tends to end up being the biggest focus for many applications. In the previous chapter, we talked about continuous testing and other DevOps concepts that we should know about to make sure that the quality stands across the development and deployment aspects.

Before we look at more challenging topics, we need to take a little break and look at some mathematical foundations and concepts. In this chapter, we will look at the mathematics that can help you with your tests.

Mathematics is sometimes overlooked in computer science, especially in the testing area. However, having knowledge of and, arguably, love for mathematics would put you forward in your career and improve the quality of the tools that you create Every computer science...
