Study Notes

Program Testing Goals

  • To discover errors in a program before it is implemented.
  • To ensure the program functions according to its specification and meets user’s requirements.
  • To assess the software's quality and reliability.

Testing Revelations

  • The presence of bugs and errors.
  • The extent of potential issues.
  • The effectiveness of the software's design and development.
  • The areas that demand further optimization.

Verification and Validation Process

  • Verification: The process of ensuring the program conforms to the specification by checking if it meets the requirements of its design.
  • Validation: The process of validating the program against the original user’s expectations and requirements to ensure it does what is intended.

Custom Software Testing

  • Performing comprehensive "black-box" and "white-box" testing methods.
  • Implementing unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing.
  • Thoroughly testing the software across diverse platforms and environments.

Program Testing's Intent

  • To demonstrate that the program functions correctly under various circumstances.
  • To ensure that the software fulfills its intended purpose and meets the users’ needs.
  • To evaluate the software's overall performance and efficiency.
