| Software Testing Study resources | | 2007-12-27 05:58:00 | | Testing is a process used to help identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software. With that in mind, testing can never completely establish the correctness of computer software.In other words Testing is nothing but CRITICISM or COMPARISION.Here comparison in the sense comparing the actual value with expected one. There are many approaches to software testing, but effective testing of complex products is essentially a process of investigation, not merely a matter of creating and following rote procedure. One definition of testing is "the process of questioning a product in order to evaluate it", where the "questions" are things the tester tries to do with the product, and the product answers with its behavior in reaction to the probing of the tester. Although most of the intellectual processes of testing are nearly identical to that of review or inspection, the word testing is connoted to mean the dynamic analysis of the product—putting the product through its paces. The quality of the application can and normally does vary widely from system to system but some of the common quality attributes include reliability, stability, portability, maintainability and usability. Refer to the ISO standard ISO 9126 for a more complete list of attributes and criteria.

| What is Software Testing? | | 2007-11-27 18:52:00 | | I know what I mean when I say testing, but what do you mean when you say testing?Bill Cosby does a comedy routine on his 1964 album "I Started Out As A Child" about a patient in surgery (under local anesthesia) hearing the doctor say "Oops!" The patient says "What did you say?! What did you say?! Did you say oops?! I know what I've done when I say oops! What did you do saying oops there?!"Hopefully none of us ever hears our doctor say "Oops!" while we are being treated. As ambiguous as "Oops" is, I suspect that any English speaker hearing it understands that it indicates that the speaker has accidentally done something bad. However, some other words with seemingly less ambiguous definitions can lead to misunderstandings and conflict amongst people.This confusion can be caused by both the natural ambiguity of language and each person's experience and understanding. I believe the words "test" and "testing" are great examples of words that should cause us to ask what definitions are being used."Wittgenstein tried to show philosophers the way out of the fly bottle of philosophy by getting them to pay closer attention to the meanings of words. Just try to define a simple word like 'game'. Wittgenstein pointed out that if you say a game has to involve luck or have a winner or be fun, you will always be able to find an example of a game that doesn't fit your definitions. When philosophers give words overly precise or restrictive definitions, when they ignore the complexity and the irredeemable vagueness of language, they often fall into confusion."-John Mighton, The End of IgnoranceSome think we can create a common definition of testing. There are tester certification programs that attempt to standardize vocabularies. This may appear to be a good idea on the surface; however software testing is too broad a subject to be stuffed into a one-size-fits-most box. First, the testing label is applied to many different things that serve different purposes. Second, testing can | | By: Quality Frog | | |

| Heuristics In Software Testing | | 2007-04-28 16:27:00 | | The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as to seem not worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it."- Sir Bertrand RussellA heuristic is a commonsense guideline used to increase the probability of solving a problem by directing one's attention to things that are likely to matter. The word is derived from the Greek "heurisko" which simply means "I find". The exclamation "eureka", meaning "I found it!", shares roots with heuristic.Just as the "Eureka!" screaming forty-niners of California's Gold Rush did not have secret knowledge or tools to tell them exactly where all the gold was buried; software testers don't know exactly where the bugs are going to hide. However, both software testers and gold miners know where bugs and gold have been found before. We can use that knowledge of past discoveries and the nature of what we seek to create heuristics that help us narrow in on areas most likely to contain the treasure.Gold mine | | By: Quality Frog | | |
