Quality - answerThe degree to which a component, system or process meets specified
requirements and/or user/customer needs and expectations.
Risk - answerA factor that could result in future negative consequences; usually
expressed as impact and likelihood.
Testing (evaluation) - answerThe process consisting of all life-cycle activities both static
and dynamic, concerned with planning, preparation, and evaluation of software products
and related work products to determine that they are fit for purpose, and to detect
defects.
Requirement - answerA provision that contains criteria to be fulfilled.
Review - answerA type of static testing during which a work product or process is
evaluated by one or more individuals to detect issues and to provide improvements.
Debugging - answerThe process of finding, analyzing, and removing the causes of
failures in software.
Confirmation testing (re-testing) - answerDynamic testing conducted after fixing defects
with the objective to confirm that failures caused by those defects do not occur
anymore.
Test Strategy (Organizational test strategy) - answerHigh-level documentation that
expresses the generic requirements for assessing one or more projects run within an
organization, providing detail on how testing is to be performed and is aligned with the
test policy.
Test Execution - answerThe process of executing code in the component or system
under test, producing actual results
Test approach - answerThe implementation of the test strategy for a specific project.
Test Plan - answerDocumentation organized to coordinate testing activities by
describing the objectives and means of achieving them, as well as the schedule within
which such achievements are to be completed.
,Test monitoring - answerA management activity that involves checking the status of
testing activities, identifying any variances from the planned or expected status, and
reporting status to stakeholders.
Test condition (test requirement, test situation) - answerAn aspect of the test basis that
is relevant in order to achieve specific test objectives.
Test basis - answerThe body of knowledge on which assessment analysis and design
are based.
Test Data - answerInputs created or selected to satisfy the execution preconditions and
to execute one or more test cases.
Coverage (test coverage) - answerThe degree, expressed as a percentage, to which
specified items have been exercised by a test suite.
Test procedure - answerA sequence of test cases in execution order, and any
associated actions that may be required to set up the initial preconditions and any wrap-
up activities post execution.
Test Suite (Test case suite, test set) - answerA set of test cases or test procedures to
be executed in a specific test cycle.
Incident* (deviation) - answerAny event occurring that requires investigation.
Testware - answerWork products produced during the test process for use in planning,
designing, executing, evaluating and reporting on testing.
Regression testing - answerAssessment of a previously tested program following
modification to ensure that defects have not been introduced or uncovered in
unchanged areas of the software, as a result of the changes made.
Test log* - answerA chronological record of relevant details about the execution of
assessments.
Independence of testing - answerSeparation of responsibilities, which encourages the
accomplishment of objective testing
Test policy (Organizational test policy) - answerA high-level document describing an
organization's principles, approach, and major objectives regarding assessment.
Verification - answerConfirmation by examination of software specifications and through
the provision of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled.
, Validation - answerConfirmation by examination and through the provision of objective
evidence that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been
fulfilled.
V-model - answerA sequential development lifecycle model describing a one-for-one
relationship between major phases of software development from business
requirements specification to delivery, and corresponding test levels from acceptance
testing to component testing.
Test level - answerGroups of test activities that are organized and managed together,
performed in relation to software at a given stage of development. Each one is an
instance of the test process.
Integration - answerThe process of combining components or systems into larger
assemblies.
Commercial off-the-shelf software/COTS (off-the-shelf software) - answerA software
product that is developed for the general market, i.e. for a large number of customers,
and that is delivered to many customers in identical format.
Performance* - answerThe degree to which a system or component accomplishes its
designated functions within given constraints regarding processing time and throughput
rate.
Incremental development model - answerA code design model in which the component
or system is delivered in a series of steps.
Iterative development model - answerA design and coding lifecycle in which the
component or system is developed through a series of repeated cycles.
Component testing (unit testing, module testing) - answerThe testing of individual
hardware or software units or modules.
Stub - answerA skeletal or special-purpose implementation of a software component
used to develop or test a component that calls or is otherwise dependent on it. It
replaces a called component.
Robustness testing* - answerTesting to determine how well a product can function
under stressful conditions.
Integration testing - answerTesting performed to expose defects in the interfaces and in
the interactions between combined components or systems.
System testing - answerThe process of assessing a collection of interacting elements to
verify that it meets specified requirements.
