The document that describes the steps to be taken in running a set of tests and specifies the executable order of the tests is called a test procedure in IEEE 829, and is also known as a test script. [Read more…] about What is Test implementation? or How to specifying test procedures or scripts?
What is Test design? or How to specify test cases?
Test design: specifying test cases
- Basically test design is the act of creating and writing test suites for testing a software.
- Test analysis and identifying test conditions gives us a generic idea for testing which covers quite a large range of possibilities. But when we come to make a test case we need to be very specific. In fact now we need the exact and detailed specific input. But just having some values to input to the system is not a test, if you don’t know what the system is supposed to do with the inputs, you will not be able to tell that whether your test has passed or failed.

What is traceability in Software testing?
Test conditions should be able to be linked back to their sources in the test basis, this is known as traceability. Traceability can be horizontal through all the test documentation for a given test level (e.g. system testing, from test conditions through test cases to test scripts) or it can be vertical through the layers of development documentation (e.g. from requirements to components).

What is Static analysis tools in software testing?
- Static analysis tools are generally used by developers as part of the development and component testing process. The key aspect is that the code (or other artefact) is not executed or run but the tool itself is executed, and the source code we are interested in is the input data to the tool.

What is static analysis?
- Performed on requirement design or code without actually executing the software or before the code is actually run.
- Goal of static analysis is to find the defects whether or not they may cause failure.
- Static analysis find defects rather than failures.
