Five views of software testing
sponsored by Hewlett-Packard Company
ABSTRACT:
When you look at software testing, you'll see that testing methods and approaches fall into five views or schools -- Analytical, Standard, Quality, Context-Driven and Agile.
The Analytic School sees testing as rigorous and technical with many proponents in academia, while the Standard School sees testing as a way to measure progress. Then you have the Quality School, which emphasizes process and policing developers; the Context-Driven School, which emphasizes people and finding bugs stakeholders care about; and the Agile School, which uses testing to prove that development is complete. In this webcast senior software testers Scott Barber and Karen N. Johnson discuss the details of the five schools, describe what they entail, and review their pros and cons.(THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.)
