Current Testing Practices:

As preparation for the course you should think about how you did testing in the last completed development project you participated in, and try to answer the following questions briefly, and as far as applicable (and allowed). It would be nice if you could send answers electronically to bnielsen@cs.aau.dk the day before the course.

  1. What kind of testing was it. i.e. which kind of properties did you want to check?
  2. At which level did you test (unit, module, system)?
  3. Did you use systematic integration testing, or big bang integration?
  4. When did you start testing?
  5. When did you finish testing?
  6. Which criterion did you use to decide when to stop testing?
  7. Which phases could be recognized during the testing process?
  8. Could your approach be classified as black-box or white-box?
  9. Which techniques did you use to obtain your test cases (test generation, or test specification techniques)?
  10. How did you write down your test cases, i.e. which test notation did you use?
