*/29 Chapter 13Software Testing Strategies */29 Software Testing Testing is the process of exercising a program with the specific intent of finding errors prior to delivery to the end user. */29 What Testing Shows errors requirements conformance performance an indication of quality */29 Who Tests the Software? developer independent tester Understands the system but, will test gently and, is driven by delivery Must learn about the system, but, will attempt to break it and, is driven by quality */29 Testing Strategy unit test integration test validation test system test */29 Testing Strategy We begin by ‘testing-in-the-small’ and move toward ‘testing-in-the-large’ For conventional software The module (component) is our initial focus Integration of modules follows For OO software our focus when “testing in the small” changes from an individual module (the conventional view) to an OO class that encompasses attributes and operations and implies communication and collaboration */29 Strategic Issues State testing objectives explicitly Understand the users of the software and develop a profile for each user category Develop a testing plan that emphasizes “rapid cycle testing” Build “robust” software that is designed to test itself Use formal technical reviews as a filter prior to testing Conduct formal technical reviews to assess the test strategy and test cases themselves Develop a continuous improvement approach for the testing process */29 Unit Testing module to be tested test cases results software engineer */29 Unit Testing interface local data structures boundary conditions independent paths error handling paths module to be tested test cases */29 Unit Test Environment Module stub stub driver RESULTS interface local data structures boundary conditions independent paths error handling paths test cases */29 Integration Testing Strategies Options: ? the “big bang” approach ? an incremental construction strategy */29 Top Down I
