quality management, and engineering all glued together by process management
review - ✔✔-an evaluation of a life-cycle work product or project status to determine if there are any
deviations from planned results and to recommend improvement
peer reviews - ✔✔-human-based testing rather than computer-based testing
anomaly, defect - ✔✔-any condition that deviates from expectations based on requirements,
specification, design documents, standards, plans, and so on, or from someone's experiences
Project Manager Review - ✔✔-normally, a weekly project with the development staff called by the
Project manager
Milestone Review - ✔✔-Represent meaningful points in the project's schedule and are documented in
the project management plan, tracked, and reviewed.
Buddy Check - ✔✔-an informal verification technique in which the life-cycle work product is examined
by the author and one other person
Circulation Reviews - ✔✔-A review that takes on attributes of both a buddy check and a walkthrough;
they can be informal or formal; the life-cycle product is passed around to each reviewer who review it
, and either attaches comments, questions, and recommendations directly on the life-cycle work product
or places them into a separate document.
Inspections - ✔✔-a formal verification technique in which life-cycle work products are examined in
detail by a group of peers for the explicit purpose of detecting and identifying defects
Inspection Team - ✔✔-Usually consists of four people: moderator, programmer, designer, test specialist
Walkthrough - ✔✔-a less formal verification technique in which life-cycle work products are examined
by a group of peers for the purpose of finding defects, omission, and contradictions; typically led by the

Peer Ratings - ✔✔-a technique of evaluating anonymous programs in terms of their overall quality,
maintainability, extensibility, usability, and clarity; the purpose of this techniques to provide
programmer self-evaluation
Bug Record - ✔✔-Provide clear and complete information about a bug, including details about the
environment and specific steps that the developer can use to reproduce the issue
Black-Box Testing - ✔✔-Testing without concern about the internal behavior and structure of the
program, instead concentrating on finding circumstances in which the program does not behave
according to its specifications
Equivalence Partitioning (Equivalence Classes) - ✔✔-a testing technique in which a set of test conditions
is divided into groups or sets that can be considered the same
Boundary Value Analysis - ✔✔-A black box test design technique in which test cases are designed based
on boundary values, those situations directly on, above, and beneath the edges of input and output
equivalence classes.
Cause-Effect Graphing - ✔✔-a black-box testing technique that aids in selecting, in a systematic way, a
high-yield set of test cases and that has the benefit of pointing out incompleteness and ambiguities in
the specification.
