    PROGRAM TESTING
    • Testing is used to show that a program does what it is
    intended to do and to discover program defects
    before using.
    • 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 GOALS


    • To 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.

    VERIFICATION VS VALIDATION
    • Testing is part of a broader process of software
    verification and validation (V & V).
    • Verification and validation are not the same thing,
    although they are often confused.
    • Verification: "Are we building the product right”.
    • The software should conform to its specification.
    • Validation: "Are we building the right product”.
    • The software should do what the user really requires.

    CONT.
    • Software verification is the process of checking that the
    software meets its stated functional and non-functional
    requirements.
    • Validation is a more general process. The aim of
    software validation is to ensure that the software meets
    the customer’s expectations.

    V & V CONFIDENCE
    • Aim of V & V is to establish confidence that the system
    is ‘fit for purpose’.
    • Depends on system’s purpose, user expectations and
    marketing environment
    • Software purpose
    • The level of confidence depends on how critical the
    software is to an organization.
    • User expectations
    • Users may have low expectations of certain kinds of
    software.
    • Marketing environment
    • Getting a product to market early may be more important
    than finding defects in the program.

    SOFTWARE INSPECTION
    • As well as software testing, the verification and
    validation process may involve software inspections
    and reviews.
    • Inspections and reviews analyze and check the system
    requirements, design models, the program source
    code, and even proposed system tests.
    • Inspections mostly focus on the source code of a
    system, but any readable representation of the
    software, such as its requirements or a design model,
    can be inspected.

    INSPECTIONS AND TESTING


    • Software inspections concerned with analysis of the
    static system representation to discover problems
    (static verification)
    • May be supplement by tool-based document and code
    analysis.
    • Software testing concerned with exercising and
    observing product behavior (dynamic verification)
    • The system is executed with test data and its operational
    behavior is observed.

    INSPECTIONS AND TESTING

    12

    SOFTWARE INSPECTIONS
    • These involve people examining the source
    representation with the aim of discovering anomalies
    and defects.
    • Inspections not require execution of a system so may
    be used before implementation.
    • They may be applied to any representation of the
    system (requirements, design, configuration data, test
    data, etc.).
    • They have been shown to be an effective technique
    for discovering program errors.

    SEii Lec5: Software Testing 5/26/2024


    13

    ADVANTAGES OF INSPECTIONS
    • During testing, errors can mask (hide) other errors.
    Because inspection is a static process, you don’t have
    to be concerned with interactions between errors.
    • Incomplete versions of a system can be inspected
    without additional costs. If a program is incomplete,
    then you need to develop specialized test harnesses to
    test the parts that are available.
    • As well as searching for program defects, an inspection
    can also consider broader quality attributes of a
    program, such as compliance with standards,
    portability and maintainability.

    14

    INSPECTIONS AND TESTING


    • Inspections and testing are complementary and not
    opposing verification techniques.
    • Both should be used during the V & V process.
    • Inspections can check conformance with a
    specification but not conformance with the customer’s
    real requirements.
    • Inspections cannot check non-functional
    characteristics such as performance, usability, etc.

    STAGES OF TESTING
    • Development testing, where the system is tested during
    development to discover bugs and defects.
    • Release testing, where a separate testing team test a
    complete version of the system before it is released to
    users.
    • User testing, where users or potential users of a system
    test the system in their own environment.
