part 1

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 4 from the course text, Software Testing Foundations.

Static investigation techniques can be very effective in achieving high-quality software. There are many forms of these techniques that include code reviews, inspection, informal review, etcetera. Discuss some of the benefits that can be achieved through these techniques. Which technique(s) do you believe can be the most effective and what can be the limitations for this approach? Understanding static techniques will be crucial as you will be discussing dynamic approaches in the coming week.

Instructions

The main idea behind the general V-model is that development and testing tasks are corresponding activities of equal importance. The left branch of the V-model represents the development process and they are very closely related to what we know from the waterfall model.

For this week’s learning activity, you are going to build a concept map defining component testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing and how they relate to or complement each other.

In addition to your concept map, write a paper that addresses the following:

• Describes each of the above-mentioned types of testing.
• Explains how these testing types map to the V-model development process.

Post a link to your concept map in this discussion form and attach your paper. Your paper should be 600 words. Support your content with two to three scholarly and/or credible sources in addition to the course text with in-text citations using the Writing Center’s APA: Citing Within Your Paper resource. The Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. Lastly, include title and references pages. For information on how to properly format title and references pages, review the Writing Center’s resources APA Formatting for Word 2013 and Formatting Your References List
