How to define Software Testing
Principles
• Testing
The execution of a program to find its faults
• Verification
The process of proving the programs correctness.
• Validation
The process of finding errors by executing the program in a real
environment
• Debugging
Diagnosing the error and correct it
Software Testing Principles
• To remove as many defects as possible before test since
the quality improvement potential of testing is limited
What are the Types of Software Tests
• Unit Testing (White Box)
• Integration Testing
• Function Testing (Black Box)
• Regression Testing
• System Test
• Acceptance and Installation Tests
10.1 The Testing Process
• Testing is done throughout the development
process.
• Testing is divided into phases beginning in the design
phase and ending at the customer’s site.

• Testing process is illustrated in the next slide.


• The two fundamental decisions that must be made
before planning for testing can occur are:
• What is the required software quality standard, and
• What is the software testing strategy.
Determining the test
methodology

Planning the tests

Designing the tests

Performing the tests


(implementation)
Who •Performs the Tests?
Unit Testing – done by the programmer and/or
development team.

• Integration Testing – can be the development team or a


testing unit.

• System Testing – usually done by an independent testing


team (internal or external (consultants) team.

• For small companies, another testing team from another


development team can be used and swapped.

• User Acceptance Testing – With potential User.
