1. Managing the Test Process CS 4501 / 6501 Software Testing
[Ammann and Offutt, “Introduction to Software Testing,” Ch. 9.5]

2. Late Testing Postpone testing activity Compromised testing
Wait until late in the development process
Compromised testing
Not enough resources (time and budget)
Instead of planning and designing test, only have time to run tests
Testers cannot show up the last minute and make a bad product good; high quality has to be part of the process from the beginning

3. Integrating Testing Process
Requirements analysis and specification
System and software design
Intermediate design
Detailed design
Implementation
Integration
System deployment
Operation and maintenance

4. Integrating Testing Process
Testing objectives and activities during
requirements analysis
Objectives
Activities
Ensure requirements are testable
Ensure requirements are correct
Ensure requirements are complete
Influence the software architecture
Set up testing requirements
Choose testing criteria
Obtain or build support software
Define testing plans at each level
Build test prototypes
Clarify requirement items and test criteria
Develop project test plan
[AO, p. 287]

5. Integrating Testing Process
