When you test software, you execute a program using artificial data. You check the results of the test run for errors, anomalies or information about the program’s non-functional attributes. Can reveal the presence of errors NOT their absence.Testing is part of a more general verification and validation process, which also includes static validation techniques.Program testing goals30/10/2014Chapter 8 Software TestingTo demonstrate to the developer and the customer that the software meets its requirements. For custom software, this means that there should be at least one test for every requirement in the requirements document. For generic software products, it means that there should be tests for all of the system features, plus combinations of these features, that will be incorporated in the product release. To discover situations in which the behavior of the software is incorrect, undesirable or does not conform to its specification. Defect testing is concerned with rooting out undesirable system behavior such as system crashes, unwanted interactions with other systems, incorrect computations and data corruption.Validation and defect testing30/10/2014Chapter 8 Software TestingThe first goal leads to validation testingYou expect the system to perform correctly using a given set of test cases that reflect the system’s expected use. The second goal leads to defect testingThe test cases are designed to expose defects. The test cases in defect testing can be deliberately obscure and need not reflect how the system is normally used. Testing process goals30/10/2014Chapter 8 Software TestingValidation testingTo
