Metamorphic testing (MT) is a property-based software testing technique, which can be an effective approach for addressing the test oracle problem and test case generation problem. The test oracle problem is the difficulty of determining the expected outcomes of selected test cases or to determine whether the actual outputs agree with the ...
In Huang's 1975 paper, [1] a decision-to-decision path is defined as path in a program's flowchart such that all the following hold (quoting from the paper): its first constituent edge emanates either from an entry node or a decision box;
Orthogonal array testing is a systematic and statistically-driven black-box testing technique employed in the field of software testing. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This method is particularly valuable in scenarios where the number of inputs to a system is substantial enough to make exhaustive testing impractical.
A specified oracle is typically associated with formalized approaches to software modeling and software code construction. It is connected to formal specification, [8] model-based design which may be used to generate test oracles, [9] state transition specification for which oracles can be derived to aid model-based testing [10] and protocol conformance testing, [11] and design by contract for ...
Model-based testing is an application of model-based design for designing and optionally also executing artifacts to perform software testing or system testing. Models can be used to represent the desired behavior of a system under test (SUT), or to represent testing strategies and a test environment.
Equivalence partitioning or equivalence class partitioning (ECP) [1] is a software testing technique that divides the input data of a software unit into partitions of equivalent data from which test cases can be derived. In principle, test cases are designed to cover each partition at least once.
This article discusses a set of tactics useful in software testing.It is intended as a comprehensive list of tactical approaches to software quality assurance (more widely colloquially known as quality assurance (traditionally called by the acronym "QA")) and general application of the test method (usually just called "testing" or sometimes "developer testing").
Dynamic testing involves running the software. Static testing includes verifying requirements, syntax of code and any other activities that do not include actually running the code of the program. Testing can be further divided into functional and non-functional testing. In functional testing the tester would check the calculations, any link on ...
