Software Testing Phases
Several testing strategies are available and lead to the following generic characteristics :
•Testing begins at the unit level and works “outward” toward the integration of the entire system
•Different testing techniques are appropriate at different points of S/W development cycle.
Testing is divided into four phases as follows:
• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing
• System Testing
• Acceptance Testing
The
context of Unit and Integration testing changes significantly in the
Object Oriented (OO) projects. Class Integration testing based on
sequence diagrams, state-transition diagrams, class specifications and
collaboration diagrams forms the unit and Integration testing phase for
OO projects.
For Web Applications, Class integration testing identifies the integration of classes to implement certain functionality.
The
meaning of system testing and acceptance testing however remains the
same in the OO and Web based Applications context also. The test case
design for system and acceptance testing however need to handle the OO
specific intricacies.
