1. Acceptance Testing CSSE 376, Software Quality Assurance Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology March 30, 2007

2. 2 Outline  Role of Acceptance Testing  Other Paths to Acceptance  Agile Approach

3. 3 Lifecycle Testing Relationships Requirements High-level Design Low-level Design Code Unit Testing Integration Testing System Testing Acceptance Testing

4. 4 Requirements as Use Cases 1.For each use case enumerate a set of scenarios 2.Construct a test case for each scenario 3.Construct a test suite to run the test cases

5. 5 Other Paths to Acceptance  Beta testing Distribute system to volunteers Collect change requests, fix, redistribute Collect statistics on beta use  Shadowing Collect or redistribute real-time use of existing system Compare results Collect statistics

6. 6 Agile Approach: Framework for Integrated Test (FIT)  Developed by Ward Cunningham as an extension of xUnit framework  Encourages customer participation via simple tables

7. 7 Story-Driven Development  Customers write stories  Developers develop code to realize each story  Customers and developers work together to create tests of each story

8. 8 Cartoon of the Day

9. 9 FIT + Wiki + Web Server = FitNesse

10. 10 Why Do We Need a Wiki?  Lower the barrier to customer participation  Easy to keep up-to-date

11. 11 Fixture: Connection Between Test System and Application  When "Test" button is pushed a fixture is called to process the table  The fixture delegates to underlying application code  Fixture code is like xUnit TestCase code extends base class may create objects for multiple tests

12. 12 Common Table Formats  ColumnFixture each row specifies one input and one output  RowFixture first row is input, remaining rows are output  ActionFixture each row is either an action to perform or a value to check
