Study Notes
Software Risks
- Schedule Risk: Wrong time estimation, untracked resources, unidentified complex functionalities, and unexpected project scope expansions.
- Budget Risk: Wrong budget estimation, cost overruns, and project scope expansion.
Programmatic Risks
- Running out of funds, market development, changing customer product strategy and priorities, and government rule changes.
Operational Risks
- Risk of loss due to improper process implementation, failed system, or external event risks.
- Failure to address priority conflicts, resolve responsibilities, and insufficient resources.
- No proper subject training, resource planning, or communication within the team.
Technical Risks
- Causes: Continuously changing requirements, unavailable or initial-stage technology, complex product implementation, and difficult project module integration.
- Consequences: Failure of functionality and performance.
Software Development Risks
- Improper use of technology, inability to translate user needs into technical requirements, uncontrolled system access, and ineffective security and privacy practices.
- Program errors.
Testing Risks
- Not Enough Training/Lack of Test Competency, Lack of Test Tools, Lack of Management Understanding and Support of Testing.
- Lack of Customer and User Involvement, Not Enough Schedule or Budget for Testing.
Risk Mitigation
- Form a risk analysis team, identify risks, estimate the magnitude of risk, and examine work documents for review comments.
Dynamic Testing
- Main objective: Confirm that the software product works in conformance with business requirements.
- Executing code to check functional behavior, memory/cpu usage, and overall system performance.
- Performed at all levels of testing, can be black or white box testing.
V&V Involvement in SDLC
Requirements Phase Activities
- Determine test strategy, adequacy of requirements, and generate functional test conditions.
Design Phase Activities
- Determine consistency of design with requirements, adequacy of design, and adequacy of test plans.
- Generate structural and functional test conditions.
Program (Build) Phase Activities
- Determine consistency with design, adequacy of implementation, and generate structural and functional test conditions for modules and units.
Test Phase Activities
- Test application system.
Installation Phase Activities
- Place tested system into production.
Maintenance Phase Activities
- Modify and retest.
Requirement Validation & Review
- Walkthroughs, reviews, and inspections are techniques to identify defects at each stage of development and maintenance.
- Key documentation: Verification Review logs, Check sheets.
Validation
- Ensures the system operates according to plan by executing system functions through a series of tests.
- Key documentation: Validation Test Strategy and Test Plan, Test cases and test scripts, Test results log, Check sheets, Defect logs.
