To perform the best possible testing of your software, you must select the proper testing technique. Examine how to choose a testing technique from the many available: static, dynamic, black-box, white-box, and experience-based.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Distinguish between static and dynamic testing and outline the importance of static techniques for assessing software products
    Describe the activities in a formal review
    Describe the roles and responsibilities associated with formal reviews
    Describe different types of review – walkthroughs, technical reviews, and inspections
    Describe the success factors for reviews
    Describe the objective of static analysis in assessing software products
    Outline the steps in the test development process and how these are documented
    Describe the different types of test design techniques for dynamic testing
    Describe the black-box technique equivalence partitioning (ep)
    Describe the black-box technique boundary analysis
  • Describe how to use decision tables for black-box test design
    Describe the black-box technique state transition testing
    Describe the black-box technique use case testing
    Describe how white-box techniques can be used to measure test coverage and design tests
    Describe how statement coverage is calculated and test design is based on the results
    Describe how decision coverage is calculated and test design is based on the results
    Describe other structure-based techniques, including various forms of condition coverage
    Describe the experience-based techniques error-guessing and exploratory testing and how they work with specification-based techniques
    List the factors involved in choosing a test technique
    Practice identifying an appropriate software testing technique and the considerations for its implementation
