Dynamic Testing Techniques Contents What is a testing technique? Black and White box testing Black box test techniques White box test techniques Why dynamic test techniques? Exhaustive testing (use of all possible inputs and conditions) is impractical must use a subset of all possible test cases must have high probability of detecting faults Need thought processes that help us select test cases more intelligently test case design techniques are such thought processes What is a testing technique? a procedure for selecting or designing tests based on a structural or functional model of the software successful at finding faults best practice a way of deriving good test cases a way of objectively measuring a test effort Advantages of techniques Different people: similar probability find faults gain some independence of thought Effective testing: find more faults focus attention on specific types of fault know youre testing the right thing Efficient testing: find faults with less effort avoid duplication systematic techniques are measurable Measurement Objective assessment of thoroughness of testing (with respect to use of each technique) useful for comparison of one test effort to another E.g.
