You do not need to re-sumbit a revised proposal unless specifically requested. However, please pay attention to the following:
- You need to zoom in on specific model-based/systematic testing techniques (other than checklist)
- Using exiting tools and documenting exiting processes/practices are not substitute for doing model-based testing.
Be sure to bring some program code or product/feature specs to every class for in-class working/discussion sessions.
