Software Testing

Testing with a Purpose

Software testing is performed to verify that the completed software package functions according to the expectations defined by the requirements/specifications. The overall objective to not to find every software bug that exists, but to uncover situations that could negatively impact the customer, usability, and/or maintainability.

From the module level to the application level, this article defines the different types of testing. Depending upon the purpose for testing and the software requirements/specs, a combination of testing methodologies is applied. One of the most overlooked areas of testing is regression testing and fault tolerant testing.

What are you testing in an experiment?

You are testing the independent variable. The dependent variable is the one being measured.


What is controlling manipulating and responding variables?

Controlling Variables are the variables that stay the same.The Manipulated Variable is the variable that you changed on purpose. There can only be one manipulated variable.The Responding Variable is the variable that was changed due to the experiment. For example, if you were testing how fast ice melts with differet materials, the responding variable would be the time it took for the ice to melt. Again, there can only be one responding variable.

How many variables can be tested at a time?

The number of variables that can be tested at a time may vary depending on the experimental design and resources available. In practice, it is common to test one to three variables simultaneously in order to effectively analyze and interpret the results. However, some experimental designs may allow for testing more variables at once.


What is a minipulated variable for a science experiment?

A manipulated variable is one that the scientist or tester is testing and changing. It is also called the independent variable. The responding variable is the one that responds to the changes and is measured for results. It is also called the dependent variable.


Which variable does the researcher intentionally change in a scientific experiment?

The variable that the researcher intentionally changes in a scientific experiment is called the independent variable. This variable is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
