and build confidence in the software \item Resources of time, people, facilities are limited \item Need to plan how the software will be tested \item You know in advance that the software is unlikely to be perfect \item You need to put resources into the most important parts of the project \item A risk analysis can determine where to put your limited resources \item A risk is a condition that can result in a loss \item Risk analysis involves looking at how bad the loss can be and at the probability of the loss occurring \end{itemize} \end{frame} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{frame} \frametitle{Test Plan} \begin{itemize} \item Risks cannot be eliminated, but the development process can reduce the probability of loss associated with risks to an ``acceptable'' level \item One approach to risk analysis is FMEA - Failure Mode Effect Analysis \item Consider the capstone project of the autonomous rescue robots (A3) \begin{itemize} \item The final grade is mostly based on the final documentation and the final demonstration/presentation in front of an industry panel \item \structure{What are the most significant risks?} \item \structure{How do you test the robot?} \item \structure{How should calibration be handled?} \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \end{frame}

White box testing is derived from the program's internal structure \item Black box testing is derived from a description of the program's function \item Should perform both white box and black box testing \item Black box testing \begin{itemize} \item Uncovers errors that occur in implementing requirements or design specifications \item Not concerned with how processing occurs, but with the results \item Focuses on functional requirements for the system \item Focuses on normal behaviour of the system \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \end{frame}

discussed \item Use a combination of dynamic and static testing \item Dynamic analysis \begin{itemize} \item Requires the program to be executed \item Test cases are run and results are checked against expected behaviour \item Exhaustive testing is the only dynamic technique that guarantees program validity \item Exhaustive testing is usually impractical or impossible \item Reduce number of test cases by finding criteria for choosing representative test cases \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \end{frame} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{frame} \frametitle{Static Testing Continued} \begin{itemize} \item Static analysis \begin{itemize} \item Does not involve program execution \item Testing techniques simulate the dynamic environment \item Includes syntax

people \item Includes by-hand test cases, structured walkthroughs, code inspections \end{itemize} \item Automated testing \begin{itemize} \item The more automated the development process, the easier to automate testing \item Less reliance on people \item Necessary for \structure{regression testing} \item Test tools can assist, such as Junit, Cppunit, CuTest etc. \item Can be challenging to

analogy involves planting fish in a lake to estimate the fish population \item T = total number of fish in the lake (to be estimated) \item N = fish stocked (marked) in the lake \item M = total number of fish caught in lake \item M' = number of marked fish caught \item T = (M - M')*N/M' \item Artificially seed faults, discover both seeded and new faults, estimate the total number of faults \end{itemize} \end{frame} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{frame} \frametitle{Fault Testing Continued} \begin{itemize} \item Method assumes that the real and seeded faults have the same distribution \item Hard to seed faults \begin{itemize} \item By hand (not a great idea) \item Independent testing by two groups and obtain the faults from one group for use by the other \end{itemize} \item Want most of the discovered faults to be seeded faults \item If many faults are found, this is a bad thing \item The probability of errors is proportional to the number of errors already found \end{itemize} \end{frame} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{frame} \frametitle{Fault Testing Usage Homework} After completion of a complex software project, two independent groups test it. The first group finds 300 errors and the second group finds 200 errors. A comparison of the errors discovered by the two teams shows that they found the same error in 50 cases. What is the range that estimates the number of errors in the original software project? % M1 = 300, M1'=50, N1 = 200, T1 = 1000 % M2 = 200, M2'=50, N2 = 300, T2 = 900 \be[A.] \item 900--1000 %answer \item -17--25 \item 600--1500 \item 0--150 \item 150--250 \ee \end{frame} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \end{document}
