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.
