Testing

Question 1

Define Traceability

Answer 1

Property of an artifact being traceable to original requirement

Question 2

How can you record traceability?

Answer 2

Traceability Matrix

Links req. and validation process.
Ensures all requirements are tested in test protocols

Question 3

What is Software Testing

Answer 3

Process of validating or verifying a software meets requirements that guided its design and development

Detect program errors, not to show its free of errors.

Question 4

Test Driven Development

Answer 4

Every step in the development process must start with a plan to verify it.

Do not create an artifact until you know how it will be tested.

Question 5

Steps of TDD

Answer 5

1. select feature for implementation
2. Code for tests, write code that implements feature, verify and validate using tests.
3. if result meets expectations, move on
4. otherwise identify and fix problem.

WriteCode->WriteTest->RunTest->VandV

Question 6

Goal of testing

Answer 6

find faults as cheaply and quickly as possible

Question 7

Strategies alongside testing

Answer 7

• design/code review, or SAS
• test automation -> regression
• Test early and often

Question 8

Static testing

Answer 8

• No execution
• simulates dynamic environment
  involves:
  syntax check, document walkthrough/inspection, correctness proofs.

Question 9

Dynamic testing

Answer 9

• Execute code
• Checked against expected behaviour.
• Validity not guaranteed unless exhaustive tested
