Test activities and tasks
what is a test process?
a set of test activities
even though testing is context dependent…
there are common sets of test activities without which testing is less likely to achieve test objectives
The activities in a test process: I vilken ordning do they appear?
Many of these appear to follow a logical sequence, they are often implemented iteratively or in pararell
What does test planning consist of? 2
Defining the test objectives
Then selecting an approach that best achieves the objectives
What is test monitoring?
The ongoing checking of all test activities and the comparison of actual progress against the plan.
What is test control?
Taking the actions neceswsary to meet the test objectives.
What does test analysis include?
Analyzing the test basis to identify testable features.
When analyzing tests: what is defined and prioritized?
Associated test conditions - taking the related risks and risk levels into account
What is test analysis often supported by?
Test techniques
What does test analysis answer för question?
What to test? (in terms of of measurable coverage criteria)
What does test design include? 4
Elaborating the test conditions into test cases and other testware.
Include defining the test data requirements
Designing the test invironment
identifying the necessary infrastucture and tools
When you in test design are elaborating test condition: which activity do you often involve ?
Identification of coverage items.
Identification of coverage items in test disgm serve as…
a guide to specify test case inputs.
Which question does test design answer?
How to test?
What does test implementation include? 4
Creating the testware necessary for testing (tex test data)
Manual and automated test scripts are created
Test procedures are prioritezed and arranged withini a execution schedule
Test environment in built and set up.
What does test execution include? 3
Running tests
Compare actual tests results with expected test results
Logg test results
Anomalities analysed
Test execution can take many forms including …
continues testing or pair testing sessions
Why analyze anomalies?
To identify their likely causes. The analysis allows us to report the anomalies based on the fialures observed.
What does test completion include?
For unresolved issues : reports and backlog creating
Testwares for future is identified and archived
Test environment is shut down
Improvement analysis
Test completion report is created and communicated to stakeholders
When does test completion usually occur? + 3 exemples
At project milestones: tex
release, end of iteration, test level completion
