   1 Introduction
   2 ===============================================================================
   3 Testing is:
   4 - Measure quality
   5 - Increase confidence
   6 - Help assess risks
   7
   8 Challenges:
   9 - Big domains(infinite)
  10 - Never exhaustive
  11 - When to stop
  12
  13 Activities:
  14 - Generation
  15 - Execution
  16 - Organization
  17
  18 Quality
  19 Functionality, Reliability, Usability, Efficiency, Mainainability, Portability
  20
  21 Types:
  22 - {Non, }Functional, functions or properties
  23 - Dimensionality
  24         - Accessibility(black, grey, white box)
  25         - Detail(system, integration, module, unit)
  26         - Characteristics(functional, reliability, usability etc.)
  27

  29 Black & White Box Testing
  30 ===============================================================================
  31 Black box
  32 - Partitioning
  33 - Boundary value analysis
  34 - Error quessing(exploratory testing)
  35
  36 White box
  37 - Coverage
  38         - Path
  39         - Statement
  40         - Condition
  41         - (multiple=all combinations of) Decicion
  42
  43 Test Organization/TMap
  44 ===============================================================================
  45 TMap: Test Management approach
  46 planning->preparation->generation->execution->completion
  47
  48 v-model
  49 test incomplete things with
  50 - Driver: piece that simulates higher level system
  51 - Stub: piece that simulates lowel level
  52
  53 [L]ife cycle
  54 - Strategy/planning
  55         - Mission
  56         - Strategy
  57         - Approach
  58         - Plan
  59 - Preparation
  60         - Study test
  61         - Specifications
  62         - Testability
  63         - System division
  64 - Generation
  65         - Generation of cases:
  66                 - purpose, start, input, expected output
  67         - Test infrastructure
  68         - Implementation
  69 - Execution
  70         - phase testing
  71                 - static
  72                 - pre-test
  73                 - full
  74         - execution
  75                 - test
  76                 - repair
  77                 - retest
  78         - discriminate in error
  79                 - implementation
  80                 - specification
  81                 - test case
  82                 - infrastructure
  83         - report
  84 - Completion
  85         - Report
  86         - testware
  87         - evaluation
  88
  89 [T]echniques, [I]nfrastructure, [O]rganization
  90
  91 More Black & White Box Testing
  92 ===============================================================================
  93 Decision table: combination of input parameters
  94 Use case: test according to use cases
  95 Other whitebox: function, call, jump, dataflow, objectcode, loop, race
  96
  97 Combinatorial Testing
  98 ===============================================================================
  99 - Pairwise(triples, ...)
 100 - MC/DC. Modified condition/decision
 101         Test only important, shown to independantly affect outcome
 102
 103         Thus if we have a && b && c we test:
 104         0 1 1 and 1 1 1
 105
 106 Mutation Testing
 107 ===============================================================================
 108 Make mutants, deliberate errors and see if the test catch it
 109 Add mutant, if not caught extend tests otherwise throw away mutant
 110
 111 Quality and Reliability Challenges
 112 ===============================================================================
 113 - Systems of systems pose a problem
 114 - Integration is a problem
 115 - Interface testing
 116 - Because of continous delivery regression testing
