The Example: Program for Defining Software Metrics

For about six years, the author was able to act as coordinator of the development of program metrics in software organization which employed about 450 developers. As a member of the Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG), whose functions are defined in the Capability Maturity Model (CMM V1.1), he had to study more than 400 program metrics offered by SEI. Based

Software Testing Life Cycle

The start of system testing should mean the beginning of collaborative work with development and testing teams. Testers run scheduled tests, identify defects and write bug reports. Developers read bug reports, reproduce problems and fix the program code.

Equivalence Classes Partitioning As Software Testing Technique

The belonging of two data elements to the same equivalence class simply means that the function performs the same operations on each of them. The belonging of two data elements to different equivalence classes means that there is at least one line of the code required to process one data element that will not be used while processing another data

Types of Errors And How They Can Be Dealt With

“Why do we never have time to do anything well, but there is always time for a change?” There is an opinion that the first software error was discovered at the Dawn of The Computer Age when an attempt to launch the Whirlwind I failed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A furious inspection of the installation, connections and

Verifying the Implementation of a Test Plan

A test plan is an important work product of the project, so it must be carefully checked. If possible, it must undergo a formal check. Not only the members of the testing group, but also the representatives of the development team, marketing groups and management (at least through e-mail) should participate in the checks. Checks have several purposes at once:

The Way Test Cases Are Developed

A test case is the main component of dynamic testing as it is generated based on dynamic data flow analysis. In fact, the stage of system testing is hardly anything more than just running test cases on some software apps developed sequentially in order to detect and fix defects. This means that the primary responsibility of the testing specialist is

Installation and Cleaning Up – Testing Starting From a Known State of A System

One of the main principles of testing is that it is always necessary to know the state of the system being explored. If a bug is caught, but the tester is unaware of what causes the system to crash, in this case, he will have difficulties in reproducing this failure. The need to put the system in a known state

Practices of Test-Revising and Test-Debugging

After a test have been written or automated, it should be checked for defects in order to immediately fix them if any, and then run this test on any software build. Static testing of test cases can be carried out using the same technology that is used to verify the implementation of technical requirements, i.e. survey, end-to-end monitoring or peer
