1. Can you explain the PDCA cycle and where testing fits in? Software testing is an important part of the software development process. In normal software development there are four important steps‚ also referred to‚ in short‚ as the PDCA (Plan‚ Do‚ Check‚ Act) cycle. Let’s review the four steps in detail. Plan: Define the goal and the plan for achieving that goal. Do/Execute: Depending on the plan strategy decided during the plan stage we do execution accordingly in this phase. Check: Check/Test

Software Testing Carnegie Mellon University 18-849b Dependable Embedded Systems Spring 1999 Authors: Jiantao Pan mailto:%20jpan@cmu.edu Abstract: Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results. [Hetzel88] Although crucial to software quality and widely deployed by programmers and testers‚ software testing still remains an art‚ due to limited understanding of the principles of software

SOFTWARE TESTING Q4. (a) Is functional testing sufficient to determine code coverage? Answer: No‚ functional testing is not sufficient to determine code coverage. In testing when we refer to code coverage we are talking about how much of the code is being covered/executed/tested during test execution. So the goal behind code coverage is to determine areas that are not being tested and creating tests that can cover these gaps. Structural and functional testing can be used to determine

SLIDE 1: What is automation Testing? In software testing‚ test automation is the use of special software (separate from the software being tested) to control the execution of tests‚ the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes‚ the setting up of test preconditions‚ and other test control and test reporting functions. Commonly‚ test automation involves automating a manual process already in place that uses a formalized testing process. Goal of Automation is to reduce number of test cases

A. Purpose of a Software Test Plan Document: The purpose of a plan and design document is to have a framework of guidelines and planning of what is to be produced and/or delivered. B. Contents of a Software Test Plan Document: A plan and design document contains the essence of the entire project. It provides detailed explanation of each module or functionality within a product or a service that is to be implemented. It also provides overall planning for the implementation of the project
