Deck 6: Software Testing: Techniques, Strategies, and Best Practices

Question 1

What are the attributes of a good software test?

Answer 1

-Has a high probability of finding an error
-Not redundant
-Should be capable of uncovering a whole class of errors
-Should not be too simple or too complex

Question 2

Summarize the steps used in a WebApp testing strategy.

Answer 2

-WebApp content model is reviewed to uncover errors.
-Interface model is reviewed to ensure all use-cases are accommodated.
-Design model for WebApp is reviewed to uncover navigation errors.
-User interface is tested to uncover presentation errors and/or navigation mechanics problems.
-Selected functional components are unit tested.
-Navigation throughout the architecture is tested.
-WebApp is implemented in a variety of different environmental configurations and the compatibility of WebApp with each is assessed.
-Security tests are conducted.
-Performance tests are conducted.
-WebApp is tested by a controlled and monitored group of end-users (looking for content errors,navigation errors,usability concerns,compatibility issues,reliability,and performance).

Question 3

Describe the differences between black-box testing and white-box testing.

Answer 3

Black-box testing involves testing the functionality of a software component without knowing the details of its internal logic.White-box testing involves testing the independent logic paths with full implementation knowledge.

Question 7

What are the objectives for content testing?

Question 8

What is scenario-based testing?

Question 9

What are the elements of a security case?

How does unit testing differ for object-oriented testing as compared to conventional software
unit testing?

Question 12

List guidelines that should be followed in a MobileApp testing strategy.

Question 13

Which questions need to be answered in user-centered requirements elicitation?

Question 14

What is the testing in the wild for MobileApps?

Question 15

Describe object-oriented unit testing.

Question 16

List four types of systems tests.

Question 17

Describe the how test cases are derived from behavior models to facilitate interclass testing?
