Software testing

investigation conducted to provide information about the quality of a software product or service under test and enable the business to understand the risks of software implementation

security weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance

The Metasploit Project is a computer security project that provides information about security vulnerabilities and aids in penetration testing and IDS signature development. It is owned by Rapid7, a Boston, Massachusetts-based security company.

software development methodology involving repetition of a very short development cycle: requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the software is improved to pass the new tests, only

method of evaluating computer and network security by simulating a cyber attack

checking whether changes to software have broken functionality that used to work

use of special software (separate from what is being tested) to control the execution of tests and compare actual with predicted outcomes

degree of suitability of software for the intended purpose, including functional quality and structural quality

software testing method concerned with the internal workings of the software, as opposed to its functionality

user experience research methodology, consisting of a randomized experiment with at least two variants, denoted as A and B

specification of the inputs, execution conditions, testing procedure, and expected results that define a single test to be executed to achieve a particular testing objective

user-centered technique for interaction design where a product is evaluated by testing it on users

phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group; occurs after unit testing and before system testing

test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met

Agile software development process

in computer programming, statement that a predicate is always true at that point in code execution

method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings

In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first introduced the uncertainty principle, and it is a reference to the observer effect, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state. In electronics, the traditional term is probe effect, where attaching a test probe to a device changes its behavior. The term has been criticized because it confuses Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (to which it owes the n

software testing certification board

testing conducted on a complete integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements

concise visual representation for specifying which actions to perform depending on given conditions

testing of a software application for its functional requirements

form of deliberately intense or thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system or entity, often involving testing beyond normal operational capacity

In Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, , or the always-full device, is a special file that always returns the error code (meaning "No space left on device") on writing, and provides any number of zero bytes to a process that reads from it (similar to ). This device is usually used when testing the behavior of a program when it encounters a "disk full" error. $ echo "Hello, World" > /dev/full bash: echo: write error: No space left on device

analysis of computer software that is performed by executing programs on a real or virtual processor

application of model-based design for designing and optionally also executing artifacts to perform software testing or system testing

A testbed (also spelled test bed) is a platform for conducting rigorous, transparent, and replicable testing of scientific theories, computing tools, and new technologies.

procedure to determine how a system performs in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload

API development platform

physical or virtual environment used to verify the correctness or soundness of an engineering design or model

test to check if a hypothesis is rational

ensuring software correctness with tests or analysis

method of software testing

A playtest is the process by which a game designer tests a new game for bugs and design flaws before releasing it to market. Playtests can be run "open", "closed", "beta", or otherwise, and are very common with board games, collectible card games, puzzle hunts, role-playing games, and video games, for which they have become an established part of the quality control process. An individual involved in testing a game is referred to as a playtester.

open source test automation software for acceptance testing

commonly used term for software testing performed without planning and documentation, but can be applied to early experimental studies

software build of a program performed automatically at a set time every day, possibly unstable, and not correctly or entirely tested

software verification method that analyzes a software application as it executes and reports defects that are detected during that execution

a testing process where the effects of a possible failure are intentionally mitigated

ISO, IEC and IEEE standard

software testing technique

software bug that can be exploited to gain unauthorized access or privileges on a computer system

Pseudolocalization (or pseudo-localization) is a software testing method used for testing internationalization aspects of software. Instead of translating the text of the software into a foreign language, as in the process of localization, the textual elements of an application are replaced with an altered version of the original language. For example, instead of "Account Settings", the text may be altered to display as "!!!Ǎ¢ƈôΰлţ §℮τţĭπꞡş !!!".

Pylint is a static code analysis tool for the Python programming language. It is named following a common convention in Python of a "py" prefix, and a nod to the C programming lint program. It follows the style recommended by PEP 8, the Python style guide. It is similar to Pychecker and Pyflakes, but includes the following features: Checking the length of each line Checking that variable names are well-formed according to the project's coding standard Checking that declared interfaces are truly implemented.

TTCN-3 (Testing and Test Control Notation version 3) is a strongly typed testing language used in conformance testing of communicating systems. TTCN-3 is written by ETSI in the ES 201 873 series, and standardized by ITU-T in the Z.160 Series. TTCN-3 has its own data types and can be combined with ASN.1, IDL and XML type definitions.
