This document discusses test management and summarizes key points about organizing testing efforts. It covers organizing testers on a test team and defining roles for test leaders and testers. It emphasizes the importance of independent testing and discusses how testing should be integrated within an organization. The document also outlines skills needed for testers, including application domain knowledge, technology knowledge, and testing knowledge. Finally, it notes that the types of defects found will change over time, initially finding more bugs as testing improves before focusing on preventing defects earlier in the development process.
Wahyudi Bayu Putra is a student at UIN Suska Riau studying Information Systems in the Faculty of Science and Technology. The document discusses error guessing as a technique in software testing. It states that error guessing works best when used along with more formal testing methods. Good testers are able to identify where defects are most likely by understanding the system and thinking of situations where it may not work properly. Some examples of conditions to test include division by zero, blank inputs, empty files, and incorrect data types. A structured approach to error guessing involves creating lists of possible defects and designing tests to trigger them.
Trends in Software Testing: There has been a slow realization among the top executives that simply outsourcing testing to the lowest bidder is not resulting in a sufficient level of quality in their software products. In this session, Paul Holland will discuss how American companies are starting to reconsider “factory school” testing and are no longer satisfied with the current situation of simply outsourcing their “checking”. As the development side of software continues its dramatic shift toward Agile development – what role can testers have and how can testers still add value?

The document contains a session plan for a software testing principles and techniques course. The session objectives are to define various software testing terms and concepts, differentiate between different types of testing, and learn about the testing process. The session would include slides, demonstrations of testing software, and discussions. Test cases for an example ATM system are also provided to demonstrate initial functional testing.
Testing is needed to identify defects, provide confidence, and prevent defects. The objectives of testing include finding defects, providing information, and achieving confidence. Exhaustive testing is impossible, so risk-based testing is used instead of testing all combinations of inputs. Testing activities should start early in the software development life cycle and focus on defined objectives. Defect clusters are used to plan risk-based tests and test cases are regularly revised to overcome the pesticide paradox. The fundamental test process includes test planning, analysis and design, implementation and execution, evaluation and reporting, and closure activities. Independence is important for testing to provide an objective perspective.
