Microplastics have been found to be so light they can be carried on the wind and transported to far-flung parts of the ocean, including those that appear to be clear of the pollutant. Microplastics – which are defined as particles smaller than 5mm in diameter – can stay airborne for hours or days. This … Read more
Test conditions should be able to be linked back to their sources in the test basis, this is known as traceability. Traceability can be horizontal through all the test documentation for a given test level (e.g. system testing, from test conditions through test cases to test scripts) or it can be vertical through the layers of development … Read more
Static analysis tools are generally used by developers as part of the development and component testing process. The key aspect is that the code (or other artefact) is not executed or run but the tool itself is executed, and the source code we are interested in is the input data to the tool. These tools are mostly … Read more
Performed on requirement design or code without actually executing the software or before the code is actually run. Goal of static analysis is to find the defects whether or not they may cause failure. Static analysis find defects rather than failures.
1. Walkthrough: It is not a formal process It is led by the authors Author guide the participants through the document according to his or her thought process to achieve a common understanding and to gather feedback. Useful for the people if they are not from the software discipline, who are not used to or cannot … Read more
During a review five types of participants take part. The moderator: Also known as review leader Performs entry check Follow-up on the rework Schedules the meeting Coaches other team Leads the possible discussion and stores the data that is collected The author: Illuminate the unclear areas and understand the defects found Basic goal should … Read more
Formal reviews follow a formal process. It is well structured and regulated. A formal review process consists of six main steps: Planning Kick-off Preparation Review meeting Rework Follow-up
Informal reviews are applied many times during the early stages of the life cycle of the document. A two person team can conduct an informal review. In later stages these reviews often involve more people and a meeting. The goal is to keep the author and to improve the quality of the document. The most … Read more

Since static testing can start early in the life cycle so early feedback on quality issues can be established. As the defects are getting detected at an early stage so the rework cost most often relatively low. Development productivity is likely to increase because of the less rework effort. Types of the defects that are … Read more
