Part 1 Software Testing Concepts

Part 1 view on heuristics “5.1.3 Testing as a Heuristic In engineering (and software engineering) a heuristic is an experience-based (trial and error) method that can be used as an aid to problem solving and design. However, while heuristics can be used to solve problems, they are fallible in that sometimes they may not solve, or only partially solve, a problem. “Recognition that the manner in which testing is undertaken may be fallible allows us to mitigate the risk of an ineffective test strategy by employing multiple test strategies.”

Part 2 – Test Process X

Part 3 – Test Documentation Agreed text based on IEEE 829 (making it normative)

Washington 2010 Vote 1: Static testing is a part of testing. For: 6 (countries voted for: Australia, China, Denmark, India, South Korea, Sweden) Against: 4 (countries voted against: Canada, Japan, South Africa, USA) Abstain: none Majority is for. Static testing is a part of testing. Vote 2: Inspections are a separate approach (not part of testing). For: 4 (countries voted for: Canada, Japan, South Africa, USA) Against: 5 (countries voted against: Australia, China, Denmark, India, South Korea) Abstain: 1 (Sweden) Majority is against. Inspections are not a separate approach (i.e. inspections are a part of testing).

Liaison with TMMi Benefits of a liaison with TMMi: Free marketing of the standard by TMMi, which would be a new market for WG26 The opportunity for sales of the standard to members of the TMMi community and users of TMMi material Access to experts from TMMi to contribute to and comment on 29119standards

Other Liasons European Telecommunications Standards Institute – Methods for Testing Specifications – Free marketing of the standard by ETSI to a market of security testers who may not have visibility of the standard at present ISTQB – Request, by Rex Black, in November 2008 but not finalised then. Re-proposed in November 2014

Petition To the President of the International Organization for Standardisation, We, the undersigned, hereby petition the International Organization for Standardisation to suspend publication of ISO/IEC/IEEE and ISO/IEC/IEEE , and to withdraw ISO/IEC/IEEE , ISO/IEC/IEEE and ISO/IEC/IEEE It is our view that significant disagreement and sustained opposition exists amongst professional testers as to the validity of these standards, and that there is no consensus (per definition 1.7 of ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004) as to their content.

The working group discussed the „Stop 29119‟ campaign The working group agreed that the article that Stuart published on the softwaretestingstandard.org website rebutting the arguments of the campaign was a suitable response to the campaign. The working group agreed that it would be beneficial to upload links and documents to the softwaretestingstandard.org website that debunk the myths that are being spread on the standards and on the working group by the campaigners.
