What is Ramp Testing
Continuously raising an input signal until the system breaks down.
-
What is Exploratory testing
Often taken to mean a creative, informal software test that is not based on formal test plans or test cases; testers may be learning the software as they test it.
-
What is Equivalence Partitioning
A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed to execute representatives from equivalence classes.
-
What is Dynamic Testing
Testing software through executing it. See also Static Testing.
-
What is Conformance Testing
The process of testing that an implementation conforms to the specification on which it is based. Usually applied to testing conformance to a formal standard.
-
What is Cyclomatic Complexity
A measure of the logical complexity of an algorithm, used in white-box testing.
-
What is Compatibility Testing
Testing whether software is compatible with other elements of a system with which it should operate, e.g. browsers, Operating Systems, or hardware.
-
What is Code Inspection
A formal testing technique where the programmer reviews source code with a group who ask questions analyzing the program logic, analyzing the code with respect to a checklist of historically common programming errors, and analyzing its compliance with coding standards.
-
What is Code Coverage
An analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered) by the test case suite and which parts have not been executed and therefore may require additional attention.
-
What is Cause Effect Graph
A graphical representation of inputs and the associated outputs effects which can be used to design test cases.
-
What is CMM
The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) is a model for judging the maturity of the software processes of an organization and for identifying the key practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes.
-
What is Bug
A fault in a program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner.
-
What is Capture/Replay Tool
A test tool that records test input as it is sent to the software under test. The input cases stored can then be used to reproduce the test at a later time. Most commonly applied to GUI test tools.
-
What is CAST
Computer Aided Software Testing.
-
What is Boundary Value Analysis
BVA is similar to Equivalence Partitioning but focuses on "corner cases" or values that are usually out of range as defined by the specification. It means that if a function expects all values in range of negative 100 to positive 1000, test inputs would include negative 101 and positive 1001.
