What is Testing?

Dynamic Executing the software code to demonstrate the results (Chapter 4)

StaticWithout executing software code to find defects. Reviewing of documents including source code. (Chapter 3)

What is Testing?

PlanningWhat we want to do? Report on testing progress, status of the software under test, finalize and close testing when a phase completes. (Chapter 5)

PreparationWe need to choose what testing we’ll do? (Chapter 4)

EvaluationExecuting the test, we must check the results, evaluate the software and completion criteria

Software products and related work productsWe test the requirements and design specifications.

What is Testing?

Determine that software products satisfy requirements

Checking products against the requirements.

Demonstrate software products fit for purpose

Software does enough to help the users to carry out their tasks. Software does what the user might expected.
