ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 Software and systems engineering -- Software testing [1] is a series of five international standards for software testing.First developed in 2007 [2] and released in 2013, the standard "defines vocabulary, processes, documentation, techniques, and a process assessment model for testing that can be used within any software development lifecycle."
Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and the risk of its failure to a user or sponsor. [1] Software testing can determine the correctness of software for specific scenarios but cannot determine correctness for all scenarios. [2] [3] It cannot find all bugs.
Test automation, mostly using unit testing, is a key feature of extreme programming and agile software development, where it is known as test-driven development (TDD) or test-first development. Unit tests can be written to define the functionality before the code is written.
The standard formed part of the training syllabus of the ISEB Foundation and Practitioner Certificates in Software Testing promoted by the British Computer Society. ISTQB, following the formation of its own syllabus based on ISEB's and Germany's ASQF syllabi, also adopted IEEE 829 as the reference standard for software and system test documentation.
A mock-up of a TPS report cover sheet, created for the movie Office Space A TPS report (" test procedure specification ") is a document used by a quality assurance group or individual, particularly in software engineering , that describes the testing procedures and the testing process.
Testing and Test Control Notation is the only internationally standard testing language. TTCN3 [5] provides a broader applicability, as compared to earlier versions of TTCN, which were primarily focused on OSI protocols only. These three standards together are used for testing of real time applications.
API testing is a type of software testing that involves testing application programming interfaces (APIs) directly and as part of integration testing to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. [1] Since APIs lack a GUI, API testing is performed at the message layer. [2]
CAST tools are software applications used in the process of software testing. The acronym stands for "Computer Aided Software Testing". Such tools are available from various vendors and there are different tools for different types of testing, as well as for test management.
