TestingNoun1. The act of subjecting to experimental test in order to determine how well something works; "they agreed to end the testing of atomic weapons". 2. An examination of the characteristics of something; "there are laboratories for commercial testing"; "it involved testing thousands of children for smallpox". 3. The act of giving students or candidates a test (as by questions) to determine what they know or have learned. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Software Testing is a process used to identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software. There are a number of different testing approaches that are used to do this ranging from the most informal ad hoc testing, to formally specified and controlled methods such as automated testing.The quality of the application can and normally does vary widely from system to system but some of the common quality attributes include reliability, stability, portability, maintainability and usability. For a more complete listing of attributes it is suggested that the ISO standard ISO 9126 be consulted.
A list of software testing activities includes:
- "An effective way to test code is to exercise it at its natural boundaries"
- --Brian Kerninghan
In general, software engineers distinguish software faults and software failures. In case of a failure, the software does not do what the user expects. A fault is a programming error that does not actually manifest itself. A fault can turn into a failure when the software is ported to a different hardware platform or a different compiler, or when the software gets extended.
- System functional testing
- Unit testing
- Integration testing
- Regression testing
- Load testing
- Performance testing
- Stress testing
- Security testing
- Installation testing
- Usability testing
- Stability testing
- Authorization testing
- Customer acceptance testing
- Conformance testing
Software testing may be viewed as a sub-field of Software Quality Assurance but typically exists independently (and there may be no SQA areas in some companies). In SQA, software process specialists and auditors take a broader view on software and its development. They examine and change the software engineering process itself to reduce the amount of faults that end up in the code or deliver faster.
Regardless of the methods used or level of formality involved the desired result of testing is a level of confidence in the software so that the developers are confident that the software has an acceptable defect rate. What constitutes an acceptable defect rate depends on the nature of the software. An arcade video game designed to simulate flying an airplane would presumably have a much higher tolerance for defects than software used to control an actual airliner.
A problem with software testing is that the number of defects in a software product can be very large, and the number of configurations of the product larger still. Bugs that occur infrequently are difficult to find in testing. A rule of thumb is that a system that is expected to function without faults for a certain length of time must have already been tested for at least that length of time. This has severe consequences for projects to write long-lived reliable software.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
simple:TestTesting is the process of checking whether something is true or false, whether it is valid, or whether it is functional.
A test compares an expectation with an observation. The expectation must exist (in the mind of the tester, on paper, in discussion, etc.) before the observation is taken. If no expected values exist, it cannot be a test, but merely an observation.
See list of tests for tests covered in Wikipedia.
In education
A test (student assessment) is a tool or technique intended to measure students' performance, knowledge or skills.In software engineering and development
- A Test is an experiment to determine some characteristic of a software system. See software testing.
Alpha testing
In software development, testing is usually required before release to the general public. In-house developers often test the software in what is known as 'alpha' testing which is often performed under a debugger or with hardware-assisted debugging to catch bugs quickly. It can then be handed over to quality assurance staff for additional testing in an environment simular to how it was intended to be used.This is often known as the second stage of alpha testing.
Beta testing
Following that, limited public tests known as beta-versions are often released to groups of people so that further testing can ensure the product has few faults or bugs.
Gamma testing
There are companies that introduced the so-called gamma tests, which means feature-completed, but the software did not run through all the inhouse quality checks. Some cynics refer to software release as "gamma testing".
In science
Test is the 4th stage of the scientific method:
- In science, a test is an experiment performed to verify the presence, the quality or the quantity of determined characteristics or elements in a specimen.
- Observe a phenomenon
- Hypothesize an explanation of the phenomenon
- Predict a logical consequence of the explanation
- Test the prediction. "'For Example' is no proof" (Yiddish proverb).(This fallacy is called affirming the consequent) Conversely, however, any counterexample to the prediction will disprove the hypothesis.
- Review - did the Hypothesis survive the test.
Test of Newton's First Law
One common observation is
"Forces act on Objects to change their motion". When no forces are acting on an object, "Objects in motion tend to remain in motion. Objects at rest tend to remain at rest." This is called Newton's First Law of Motion.
A logical prediction of the First Law of Motion is
Kids, have your parents run this test. Don't try this at home, alone.
- If I am in my car travelling at 6 Miles Per Hour, and the car suddenly stops, an object that is sitting on my dashboard, which is not glued down, will keep going at 6 Miles Per Hour.
- Design an experiment to test the First Law.
- A. Put my sunglasses on the dashboard
- B. Start the car
- C. In the driveway, with no one nearby, to avoid hurting them, begin moving the car, slowly.
- D. Hit the brakes
- E. I predict that "the sunglasses will keep going in the same direction as step C, even though the car is now stopped (from step D).
- Test of the prediction
- Run the procedure A through D. Then look for E.
- If the sunglasses stay where they were in step A, then
- the forces acting on the sunglasses are greater than the forces in step D
- otherwise, the forces in step D are greater than the forces that were acting in step A.
In manufacturing
Test is part of Quality Assurance. Typically, measurements are taken, and test results are recorded. To reduce the cost of testing, sampling is typically used, in a statistical test.See also crash test, Statistical hypothesis testing, Likelihood-ratio test.
Geography. The river Test is a river in Hampshire, England. Test is also the professional wrestling name of Andrew Martin. His entry can be found at that link. A better place to "test" out new Wikipedia code is in the Wikipedia sandbox.
