What is Testing?

Dynamic code Executing the software code to demonstrate the results (Chapter 4) Static Reviewing Without executing software code to find defects. Reviewing of documents including source code. (Chapter 3)

What is Testing? Planning What we want to do? Report on testing progress, status of the software under test, finalize and close testing when a phase completes. (Chapter 5) Preparation We need to choose what testing we’ll do? (Chapter 4) Evaluation Executing the test, we must check the results, evaluate the software and completion criteria Software products and related work products We test the requirements and design specifications.

What is Testing? Determine that software products satisfy requirements Checking products against the requirements. Demonstrate software products fit for purpose Software does enough to help the users to carry out their tasks. Software does what the user might expected. Detect Defects Finding and fixing defects
