- 2. What is software testing? Software testing is a process whereby software applications are checked for defects and deficiencies. A defect is any error, fault or flaw in the operation of a system, device or product. In the case of software applications, testing helps to identify flaws in programming, coding errors and other errors that may result in unexpected behavior during use. aTeam Soft Solutions 2
- 3. What is Software Risk? Software Risk is the likelihood (or possibility) of occurring failure due to the unintentional interaction of one or more aspects of a system. It is a quantitative measure that describes the potential for negative consequences due to unforeseen problems in a system. It can be expressed by statistical measures, such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and failure rates, or Qualitative measures, such as severity level (e.g., critical, major). aTeam Soft Solutions 3

Types of Software Risks Scalability Risks Accessibility Risks Reliability Risks Usability Risks Coherence Risks Security Risks Testability Risks Functional Risks Performance Risks Convenience Risks Understandable Risks There are three general types of software risks. A risk that is not well understood, a risk that is known but cannot be resolved by the current development team, and a risk that manifests itself as a result of a poor application design or poor code implementation. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. aTeam Soft Solutions 43
- 5. Principles of Software Testing Principles of Software Testing provides a comprehensive treatment of software testing. This book organizes core concepts and principles into twenty-two separate principles. Each principle has its own chapter, which includes discussion and examples, as well as supporting references to related material in the bibliography. Principles of Software Testing is suitable for readers who want a quick, high level view of traditional software testing principles. aTeam Soft Solutions 5
