Development, testing, acceptance and production (DTAP) [1] [2] is a phased approach to software testing and deployment. The four letters in DTAP denote the following common steps: Development: The program or component is developed on a development system. This development environment might have no testing capabilities.
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").
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.
Test Manager deals with planning and control of the test process. Test Analyst concerns, among other things, reviews and black box testing methods. Technical Test Analyst includes component tests (also called unit test), requiring knowledge of white box testing and non-functional testing methods – this section also includes test tools.
Rather than programmer-supplied frequency information, profile-guided optimization uses the results of profiling test runs of the instrumented program to optimize the final generated code. [5] [6] [7] The compiler accesses profile data from a sample run of the program across a representative input set. The results indicate which areas of the ...
Integration testing, also called integration and testing, abbreviated I&T, is a form of software testing in which multiple parts of a software system are tested as a group. Integration testing describes tests that are run at the integration-level to contrast testing at the unit or system level.
Stress testing is a software testing activity that determines the robustness of software by testing beyond the limits of normal operation. Stress testing is particularly important for " mission critical " software, but is used for all types of software.
The functional performance test procedures are typically developed by the CxP with assistance of the trade contractors, vendors, and manufacturers based on the design engineer's contract documents. These same parties and the design engineer, and owner's representative (typically the facility operating engineer) review the functional performance ...
