6.3.1 Testing strategies:

• Why is testing important in software development?

  Identifying and fixing bugs
• Testing validates that the program behaves as expected and fulfills the user's needs
• Order the main testing strategies used in software development based on their complexity and scope:

  1️⃣ Unit Testing

  2️⃣ Integration Testing

  3️⃣ System Testing

  4️⃣ Acceptance Testing
• What is black-box testing?

  Testing without internal knowledge
• Boundary value analysis tests the minimum, maximum, and edge values of the input domain.


  True
• White-box testing requires knowledge of the program's internal structure
• White-box testing focuses on validating the external behavior of the software.

  False
• What does white-box testing focus on?

  Internal logic and code
• Branch coverage ensures that every decision point in the code is tested at least once.


  True
• Integration testing focuses on how different components of a system work together
• Black-box testing requires knowledge of the program's internal structure.

  False
• Match each white-box testing technique with its description:

  Statement Coverage ↔️ Ensuring each code statement is executed

  Branch Coverage ↔️ Ensuring each decision point is tested

  Path Coverage ↔️ Ensuring all execution paths are tested
• Unit testing aims to verify that each part of the code functions correctly according to its specifications
• What is one benefit of unit testing?

  Early bug detection
• What does integration testing focus on?

  How components work together
• Steps often involved in integration testing

  1️⃣ Components are gradually integrated

  2️⃣ Testing is performed after each integration

  3️⃣ Issues are identified and resolved
• What is the purpose of system testing?

  Verify system's overall behavior
• System testing is performed after unit testing and integration testing.


  True
• What is the primary focus of acceptance testing?

  User's perspective
• What is one key reason why testing is important in software development?

  Identifying and fixing bugs
• Equivalence partitioning reduces test cases while covering a wide range of input conditions
• In white-box testing, the tester has knowledge of the internal structure
• Steps in unit testing

  1️⃣ Write test cases

  2️⃣ Execute test cases

  3️⃣ Analyze results
• Regression testing is performed to ensure existing functionality remains unaffected by new changes.
• Match the testing strategy with its focus:

  Regression Testing ↔️ Existing features

  Unit Testing ↔️ Individual components

  Integration Testing ↔️ Component interactions

  System Testing ↔️ Overall system functionality
• In manual testing, testers manually execute test cases to identify defects.
• Pytest is used for Python-based unit testing
• Manual testing involves executing test cases manually
• What does integration testing check?

  How components work together
• Manual testing techniques complement automated testing by covering scenarios where automation is not feasible


  True
• Match the testing documentation element with its purpose:

  Test Plan ↔️ Outlines the testing scope

  Test Cases ↔️ Specifies steps to test features

  Test Report ↔️ Summarizes testing results
• Steps in bug tracking and management

  1️⃣ Bug detection and reporting

  2️⃣ Bug prioritization

  3️⃣ Bug assignment and tracking

  4️⃣ Bug resolution and verification
• What is a key feature of Jira?

  Customizable workflows
• Testing helps identify and fix bugs early in the development process
• Testing validates that the program behaves as expected and meets user needs


  True
• What is the primary purpose of testing in software development?

  Ensuring program correctness
• What is tested in system testing?

  The entire system
• Equivalence partitioning reduces test cases by dividing input data into classes
• What is black-box testing in software testing?

  Testing without internal knowledge
• Testing helps ensure a program is functioning correctly and meets the specified requirements
