PROGRAMMING METHODS AND TESTING Flashcards
SKILLS
NAME TYPES OF PROGRAMMING METHODS
AGILE
WATERFALL
THIS PROGRAMING METHOD INCLUDES “SPRINTS” QUICKLY RESPONDS TO EMERGING NEEDS
A software development methodology in which a system is developed in iterations lasting from one to four weeks. Unlike the waterfall system development model, agile development accepts the fact that system requirements are evolving and cannot be fully understood or defined at the start of the project.
AGILE
THIS PROGRAMING METHOD IS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT SEQUENTIAL. NEXT STAGE NOT STARTED UNTIL CURRENT STAGE COMPLETE
A software development methodology that involves a sequential, multistage system development process in which development of the next stage of the system cannot begin until the results of the current stage are approved or modified as necessary.

NAME TYPES OF SOFTWARE TESTING
DYNAMIC WHICH INCLUEDS BLACK-BOX AND WHITE BOX
STATIC
UNIT TESTING
INTEGRATION TESTING
SYSTEM TESTING
USER ACCEPTANCE
INPUT/OUTPUT TYPE OF DYNAMIC TESTING INTERNAL WORKINGS UNKNOWN
BLACK-BOX TESTING
INPUT/OUTPUT TYPE OF DYNAMIC TESTING INTERNAL WORKINGS KNOWN
WHITE-BOX TESTING
SOFTWARE TESTED WITHOUT EXECUTING CODE REVIEW AND STATIC ANALYSIS
STATIC TESTING
SOFTWARE TESTING USING INDIVIDUAL COMPONETS OF CODE
UNIT TESTING
THIS STAGE OF SOFTWARE TESTING MAY ONLY BE DONE AFTER UNIT TESTING IS COMPLETE IT COMBINES UNITS INTO INTEGRATED SUBSYSTEMS
INTEGRATION TESTING
THIS STAGE OF SOFTWARE TESTING MAY ONLY BE DONE AFTER INTEGRATION TESTING IS COMPLETE SUBSYSTEMS ARE COMBINED TO TEST ENTIRE SYSTEM
SYSTEM TESTING
THIS STAGE OF SOFTWARE TESTING INVOLVED TRAINED USERS CONDUCTING INDEPENDENT TESTING
USER ACCEPTANCE

ERROR IN SOFTWARE THAT IF NOT REMOVED COULD CAUSE SYSTEM TO FAIL
SOFTWARE DEFECT
The degree to which a software product meets the needs of its users.
SOFTWARE QUALITY
A standard, proven work process that enables systems analysts, programmers, project managers, and others to make controlled and orderly progress in developing high-quality software.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOGLY
The defining, measuring, and refining of the quality of the development process and the products developed during its various stages. The objective of quality management is to help developers deliver high-quality systems that meet the needs of their users.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT
A set of interrelated components—including hardware, software, databases, networks, people, and procedures—that collects and processes data and disseminates the output.
BUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEMS
A type of business information system used to improve decision making in a variety of industries.
DSS DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
The liability of manufacturers, sellers, lessors, and others for injuries caused by defective products.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
NAME TYPES OF SOFTWARE PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
STRICT LIABILITY
NEGLIGENCE
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE
WARRANTY
BREACH OF WARRANTY
A situation in which the defendant is held responsible for injuring another person, regardless of negligence or intent.
STRICT LIABILITY
HARMFUL DEFECTS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND CORRECTED THROUGOH “REASONABLE” SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES
NEGLIGENCE
When the plaintiffs’ own actions contributed to their injuries.
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE
Assures buyers or lessees that a product meets certain standards of quality.
WARRANTY
When a product fails to meet the terms of its warranty.
BREACH OF WARRANTY
Collection of best practices that help organizations improve their processes.
CMMI - CAPABILITY MATURITY MODEL INTEGRATION
A specific application of CMMI frequently used to assess and improve software development practices.
CMMI-DEV
A system whose failure may cause human injury or death.
SAFETY CRITICAL SYSTEMS
Someone who has explicit responsibility for ensuring that a system will operate in a safe and reliable manner while meeting its users’ needs.
SYSTEM SAFETY ENGINEER
A logging and monitoring system used by safety engineers to track hazards from a project’s start to its finish.
