• 8.1: Software Testing Terminologies

    • Sue Conger's "The New Software Engineering" File

      Read the section titled "Testing Terminology" in Chapter 17 (pages 690-694).

      In this unit, you have a quick introduction to many terminologies used in the science (and art) of testing. Do not be concerned if you do not understand them fully. We will go back and examine these topics in more depth; subunit 8.2 will look more closely at test strategies (i.e., white-box, black-box, top-down, and bottom-up), and subunit 8.3 will examine more closely levels of testing (i.e., unit test, integration test, and system test). Take notes as you read.
