Testing

Question	Answer
Testing	- evaluation to assess quality, completed by either a computer or person
Reviews	- a meeting in which several people examine a design doc or section of code - sometimes referred to as inspections or walkthroughs
Test Cases	- a set of input and user actions, coupled with the expected results - often organised formally into test suites which can be stored and reused
Defect Testing	- the execution of test cases to uncover errors - fixing an error often causes new errors
Regression Testing	- After changing code to fix errors, run previous test suites to ensure that new errors have not been introduced - Not possible to create test cases for all possible user actions, therefor test should be designed to maximise ability to find issues
Black-Box Testing	- test cases developed without consideration for internal logic. - based on input and expected output * GOOD TESTING USES BOTH BLACK AND WHITE-BOX TESTING*
Equivalence Categories	- method of organising inputs - where two things are essentially considered to be the same
White-Box Testing	- focuses on the internal structure of the code - ensures that every path of the code is tested * GOOD TESTING USES BOTH BLACK AND WHITE-BOX TESTING*
