SOFTWARE TESTING 1
Part A:
ISO/IEC 29119:
Concept and definition:
ISO/IEC 29119 is one of the informative standards which can provide an overview of
the concepts of software testing, it also provides the supported understanding of all of the
concepts that are presented in the ISO/IEC 29119 series. This also introduces the vocabulary
that is utilized throughout the series of as well as provides the example of the application that
to each of the concepts in the practice.
ISO/IEC 29119 covers the topics that are as follows:
5.1 introduction to the testing of software:
 5.1.1 the role for testing in validation and verification
 5.1.2 Exhaustive Testing
 5.1.3 Heuristic testing
5.2 Testing of software project and organisation context:
 5.2.1 The procedure of testing
5.3 Automation testing.
5.4 Test practices
5.5 Defect management
5.6 Test Sub process.

ISO/IEC 29119 Test Process:
ISO/IEC 29119 is one of the normative standards which defines a process model that
is generic for the testing of software as well as can be utilized within any of the life cycle that
belongs to software development as well as in any of the organisations. It is specified by the
model that the process of testing for managing, governing as well as implementing software
testing. The ISO/IEC 29119 represents a three layered process model which covers the
following things:
 Specifications of organisational test
 Management of testing
 Dynamic testing
One of the risk based approach for the testing has been presented for managing and
strategizing testing as well as allowing all of the activities that are related to testing are to be
prioritize for the most significant aspects of every systems.
ISO/IEC 29119 Test documentation:
ISO/IEC 29119 provides templates that are standard for documentation testing which
can cover the entire life cycle of software testing. Each of the templates might be tailored for
suiting the unique requirements for each of the organisations as well as the life cycle model.
All of the templates are aligned with the procedure of testing that are defined in
ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 that is defined in this standard. Those templates that are existed in the
standard, can be implemented in a variety of ways that are wide. The documents which are
defined within ISO/IEC 29119 are as per following:
Documentation of Organizational Test procedure:
- Policy of testing

SOFTWARE TESTING 3
- Strategy of Organizational Test
Documentation Test Management procedure:
- Test Plan
- Report of Test Status
- Report Test Completion
Documentation of Dynamic Test procedure:
- Specification of Test Design
- Specification of Test Case
- Specification of Test Procedure
- Requirements of Test Data
- Report of Test Data Readiness
- Requirements of Test Environment
- Report of Readiness of Test Environment
- Actual Results
- Result of Test
- Log of Test Execution
- Report of Test Incident
ISO/IEC 29119 Test Techniques:
The test design techniques are defined by the test techniques as well as it provides an
example in detail for the implementation of them. The tech techniques can be utilized within
