The software development process includes testing, verification, validation, and code debugging to ensure proper function and reliability.
Verification is the process of ensuring that programs meet their design specifications.
A case study demonstrated the use of Taguchi Methods for program verification.
Validation is the process of ensuring that a program meets its functional specification.
A case study demonstrated the use of Taguchi Methods for program validation.
Seven types of software tests verify and validate software.
It is impossible to explicitly test every execution path through a large program.
Black-box testing strategies test the functionality of each unit of code.
White-box testing strategies test the fidelity to design for each unit of code.
Integration testing tests the interoperability of tested units of code.
Bottom-up integration testing is an intuitive process of testing assemblies as the system is built.
Top-down testing is a structured, algorithmic process that begins with the control program coded as a series of stubs or pseudo-programs that are later replaced in a top-down fashion by actual code.
Regression testing is employed to ensure that new versions do not lose functionality over previous ones.
