Fundamentals Of Testing Flashcards
A factor that could result in future negative consequences.
Risk
The overall process of risk mitigation and risk monitoring.
Risk Control
Testing in which the management, selection, prioritization, and use of testing activities and resources are based on corresponding risk types and risk levels.
Risk Based Testing
The process of finding, recognizing, and describing risks.
Risk Identification
A risk that impacts projects success.
Project Risk
The process of evaluating a component or system without executing it, based on its form, structure, content, or documentation.
Static Analysis
Walk-through
A type of review in which an author leads members of the review through a work product and the members ask questions and make comments about possible issues.
Error Guessing
A test technique in which tests are derived on the basis of the tester’s knowledge of past failures, or general knowledge of failure modes.
acceptance test-driven development
A collaboration-based test-first approach that defines acceptance tests in the stakeholders’ domain language.
non-functional testing
Testing performed to evaluate that a component or system complies with non-functional requirements.
component testing
A test level that focuses on individual hardware or software components.
Integration Testing
A test level that focuses on interactions between components or systems.
Confirmation Testing
A type of change-related testing performed after fixing a defect to confirm that a failure caused by that defect does not reoccur.
Exploratory Testing
An approach to testing in which the testers dynamically design and execute tests based on their knowledge, exploration of the test item and the results of previous tests.
Review
A type of static testing in which a work product or process is evaluated by one or more individuals to detect defects or to provide improvements.
system integration testing
The integration testing of systems.
Test Condition
A testable aspect of a component or system identified as a basis for testing.
Boundary Value Analysis
A black-box test technique in which test cases are designed based on boundary values.
Review
A review that follows a defined process with a formally documented output.
A type of static testing in which a work product or process is evaluated by one or more individuals to detect defects or to provide improvements
Quality Assurance
Activities focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled.
Root Cause
A source of a defect such that if it is removed, the occurrence of the defect type is decreased or removed.
