The minimum number of test cases is the number of classes in the classification with the most containing classes. In the second step, test cases are composed by selecting exactly one class from every classification of the classification tree. The selection of test cases originally [3] was a manual task to be performed by the test engineer.
To find test cases that can cover an appropriate, but finite, number of paths, test criteria are needed to guide the selection. This technique was first proposed by Offutt and Abdurazik in the paper that started model-based testing. [3] Multiple techniques for test case generation have been developed and are surveyed by Rushby. [4]
Test-driven development (TDD) is a way of writing code that involves writing an automated unit-level test case that fails, then writing just enough code to make the test pass, then refactoring both the test code and the production code, then repeating with another new test case.
The result of the test design is a set of test cases based on the specification. These test cases can be designed prior to the implementation starts, and should be implementation-independent. Test first way of test design is very important as efficiently supports defect prevention.
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 ...
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."
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").
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 ...
