Causes of software defects 1. Why is testing necessary • 1.1 Software system context • 1.2 Causes of software defects • 1.3 Role of testing in sw.systems • 1.4 Testing and quality Both causes of errors produce defects ( = faults, bugs) in the • 1.5 How much testing is enough? code. 2. What is testing • 2.1 Definition of testing 3. Test principles 4. Fundamental test processes • Defects, if executed, may result in failures of the SW system (the • 4.1 Plan and control • 4.2 Analysis and design • 4.3 Implementation and execution system will fail to do what it should). • 4.4 Evaluate exit criteria and report • 4.5 Test closure activities 5. Psychology of testing • 5.1 Independence test levels • 5.2 Tips and tricks • Failures can affect seriously the users of the SW system, i.e.: • Break pedal not working • Miscalculations in financial SW systems
