generating expected outputs

replaying inputs according to a programmed script

comparison of expected outcomes with actual outcomes

recording test inputs

re-testing is running a test again; regression testing looks for unexpected side

re-testing looks for unexpected side effects; regression testing is repeating

re-testing is done after faults are fixed; regression testing is done earlier

re-testing uses different environments, regression testing uses the same

only important in system testing

only used in component testing

most useful when specified in advance

derived from the code

report on deviations from the project plan

sign the system off for release

re-allocate resource to meet original plans

raise incidents on faults that they have found

a dynamic analysis tool

a debugging tool

a test management tool

a configuration management tool

how to fix the fault

how to reproduce the fault

test environment details

severity, priority

s = 4, t = 3, u = 2 and 5, v = 1

s = 4 and 5, t = 3, u = 2, v = 1

s = 1 and 5, t = 3, u = 2, v = 4

s = 5, t = 4, u = 3, v = 1 and 2

performance, load and stress testing

requirements-based testing

usability testing

top-down integration testing

expected outcomes are defined by the software’s behaviour

expected outcomes are derived from a specification, not from the code

expected outcomes include outputs to a screen and changes to files and

expected outcomes should be predicted before a test is run
