ISTQBTest analysis - answerTest analysis is the process of looking at something that can be
used to derive test information.
Test basis - answerThe test basis is the information we need in order to start the test
analysis and create our own test cases.
Basically it's a documentation on which test cases are based, such as requirements,
design specifications, product risk analysis, architecture and interfaces.
We can use the test basis documents to understand what the system should do once
built. The test basis includes whatever the tests are based on. Sometimes tests can be
based on experienced user's knowledge of the system which may not be documented.
Test condition - answerFrom testing perspective we look at the test basis in order to see
what could be tested. These are the test conditions.
Test techniques - answerAs we know that testing everything is an impractical goal,
which is known as exhaustive testing. We cannot test everything we have to select a
subset of all possible tests. In practice the subset we select may be a very small subset
and yet it has to have a high probability of finding most of the defects in a system.
Hence we need some intelligent thought process to guide our selection called test
techniques.
Traceability - answerTest conditions should be able to be linked back to their sources in
the test basis, this is known as traceability.
Test design - answerBasically test design is the act of creating and writing test suites for
testing a software.
Test analysis and identifying test conditions gives us a generic idea for testing which
covers quite a large range of possibilities. But when we come to make a test case we
need to be very specific. In fact now we need the exact and detailed specific input. But
just having some values to input to the system is not a test, you have to know what the
system is supposed to do with the inputs, so you will be able to tell that whether your
test has passed or failed.
Test implementation - answerThe document that describes the steps to be taken in
running a set of tests and specifies the executable order of the tests is called a test
procedure in IEEE 829, and is also known as a test script.
