Q

contractual acceptance testing

A

Acceptance testing conducted to verify whether a system satisfies its contractual requirements.

35
Q

control flow

A

The sequence in which operations are performed during the execution of a test item.

36
Q

cost of quality

A

The total costs incurred on quality activities and issues and often split into prevention costs, appraisal costs, internal failure costs and external failure costs.

37
Q

coverage

A

The degree to which specified coverage items have been determined or have been exercised by a test suite expressed as a percentage.

38
Q

coverage item

A

An attribute or combination of attributes that is derived from one or more test conditions by using a test technique that enables the measurement of the thoroughness of the test execution.

A

A tool that provides objective measures of what structural elements, e.g., statements, branches have been exercised by a test suite.

40
Q

data flow

A

An abstract representation of the sequence and possible changes of the state of data objects, where the state of an object is any of creation, usage, or destruction.

41
Q

data-driven testing

A

A scripting technique that stores test input and expected results in a table or spreadsheet, so that a single control script can execute all of the tests in the table. Data-driven testing is often used to support the application of test execution tools such as capture/playback tools.

42
Q

debugging

A

46
Q

decision table

A

A table used to show sets of conditions and the actions resulting from them.

47
Q

decision table testing

A

A black-box test technique in which test cases are designed to execute the combinations of inputs and/or stimuli (causes) shown in a decision table.

Synonym: cause-effect decision table

48
Q

decision testing

A

A white-box test technique in which test cases are designed to execute decision outcomes.

49
Q

The process of recognizing and recording defects, classifying them, investigating them, taking action to resolve them, and disposing of them when resolved.

52
Q

defect management tool

A

A tool that facilitates the recording and status tracking of defects.

53
Q

56
Q

dynamic analysis tool

A

A tool that provides run-time information on the state of the software code. These tools are most commonly used to identify unassigned pointers, check pointer arithmetic and to monitor the allocation, use and de-allocation of memory and to flag memory leaks.
