Testing Objectives
4

Testing is a process of executing a program

with the intend of finding an error

A good Test case is one that has a high

probability of finding an as-yet-undiscovered error

A successful test is one that uncovers an asyet-undiscovered error

Testing Principles
5

All Tests should be traceable to customer

requirements

Tests should be planned long before testing

begins

The pareto principle applies to software

testing

Testing Principles
6

Testing should begin in the small and

progress towards testing in the large

Exhaustive testing is not possible To be most effective ,testing should be

conducted by an independent third party

Testability It gives simply the platform for testing a

software program easily

Characteristics of Testable software

Operability The better it works, the more efficiently
it can be tested

Observability What you see is what you test

Understandability The more information we have,

the smarter we will test
7

 Controllability The better we can control the

software, more the testing can be automated and optimized efficiently

Decomposability By controlling the scope of

testing, we can more quickly isolate problems and perform smarter testing

Simplicity The less there is to test, the more quickly

we can test it

Stability The fewer the changes, the fewer the

disruptions to testing

Basis path Testing

A testing mechanism proposed by McCabe Aim is to derive a logical complexity measure of a procedural design and use this as a guide for defining a basic set of execution paths.
