SOFTWARE TESTING
Software development and testing standards
Introduction
Standards are created for checking the quality of the product, leading to the fact that a
proper quality of the products are maintained and people using the product use a certified and
standard product in order to stay away from any kind of fraud. This is the reason that the service
management. Australian standards are set for the completion of standardization of the products
and services that are provided in the course of completion of the project. This is the reason that
only verified products are present in Australian market. This report will discuss about the brief
methodologies of the Australian software testing standards. This report will also discuss about
the terminologies present in the prosecution of the international standard determination
methodologies. This report will also provide a brief comparison in between the data that is
present in the course of Australian standards and the international standard.
Response to the Questions
The chosen standards that will be reviewed and compared are as follows: -
 AS/NZS ISO/IEC 25062:2006 Software engineering - Software product Quality
Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) - Common Industry Format (CIF) for
usability test reports (Dunkerley, 2018)
 ISO 829 Software documentation standards
Questionnaire What is the standard name?
Standard name of AS/NZS ISO/IEC 25062:2006 is Software product Quality Requirements
and Evaluation. Generally they are termed as SQuaRE (Fransson, Gallant & Shanks, 2018).

SOFTWARE TESTING
ISO 829 Software documentation standards is also known as 829 Standard for Software and
System Test Documentation.
 Who holds the copyright for the standard?
The copyright of Standard name of AS/NZS ISO/IEC 25062:2006 is protected by ISO
copyright office. This is published by the Switzerland and the exact location of their office is in
Case Postal 56, CH-1211, Geneva 20 (Elliott & Jeavons, 2014).
ISO ISO 829 Software documentation standards has its copyright by IEEE Std 829™-
2008 and the revision of the copyright is done from IEEE Std 829-1998. The area of the
ccopyright provisioning office is located in 3 Park Avenue New York, NY 10016-5997, USA.
 Amongst the acknowledged contributors to the document, which universities were
involved (if any)?
Australian Senate Economics Reference Committee has helped in completing the projection
of Australian and International Standard. This has helped in projection of the entire project and
completion of the project would not have been completed.
What is the scope or intent of the standard?
The project deals with the progression of the previously set standard, for the completion of
the data based project. The main processing of the data management helps in the processing of
the standard setting of products. Main scope of the project is to describe the projection of
standard setting (McKenzie, 2018). The main scope and intend of this project is to create am in
depth conceptual data regression of International as well as the Australian standard setting

methodologies. This is due to the fact that the quality of the product that are being imported in
their country as well as in international aspect.
 What are the key terms and understandings needed for the standard to be understood
and applied?
Key terminologies which are required for completion of project are as follows: -
 Usability: in case of testing the terminologies which are obligatory for accomplishment of
the project quality management, the main aspect is the usability of the product. This hints
to the datum that the data prosecution might be accomplished in the completion of the
project. Entire process is dependent on the usability of the product (Butler & Choo,
2016).
 Effectiveness: Effectiveness of the project plays an important role in completion of the
project. Leading to the fact that the product is processed with the effective nature of the
product. In case the effective nature of the product is least then the product does not pass
the quality standard test
 Efficiency: Efficiency of the project is one of the major check post that is accessed by the
Australian as well as the international standards for seeking the importance of the project.
this is the reason that implies the fact that the product does not pass the standard tests
 Satisfaction: Satisfaction if client after usage of the product is also one of the major
factors for getting the products allowed.
 Context of Use: products that are processed in the standard testing, the major use that is
made with help of data management has been performed with the help of usage context.

SOFTWARE TESTING
This points to the strategic terminology that the data supervision is prepared with the help
of client review
 Users: efficiency of the product is dependent on the users that are using the product. This
leads to the fact that the standard setting of the product is completely processed with the
help of the number of users using the product
 User scope: the need of the product is also one of the major reason for getting the
permission of launching the product
 Goal task accessibility: Goal of the product also acts as the major permissibility check. In
case the goal of the product is not very clear allowance of the process will not be present.
 Assistive technology: Technology that is present in the building of the product acts as one
of the major quality checks. In case the technological advancement is not present in the
products, the product does not pass the test (Edmonds, Cashin & Heartfield, 2016)
In your own words, what does the application of the standard result in? Or in other words,
what does the standard do?
Main functionality of the Australian standard is to check the excellence of the product
that will be launched in the market as the statistics that are contemporary scenario in the course
of informations is that the quality check of the product ensures the projection of data
management, leading to the fact that the quality of the product that is being launched in the
market will be very efficient in nature and the product will not affect the audience in a negative
way.

SOFTWARE TESTING
Discussing differences
In case of the testing methodology of AS/NZS ISO/IEC 25062:2006, the testing
methodology that is used is that the documentation of the entire project is initially made, leading
to the detail regarding the data administration is completed with the help of the project
management. On other hand, the ISO 829 Software documentation standard deals with the
processing of the product initially ad after completion of the product testing analyzing of the
product with respect to the data management of the customer review.
In case of ISO 829 Software documentation standard several changes are made since the
processing of the product and this is one of the reason that implies the fact that the data
management will be done with the altered versions whereas in case of AS/NZS ISO/IEC
25062:2006, no changes and alteration is made, and the implementation of the AS/NZS ISO/IEC
25062:2006 is made worldwide (Wells, 2015).
Both the AS/NZS ISO/IEC 25062:2006 and ISO 829 Software documentation standard
has the same terminologies acting as the major check post, foremost to the detail that the data
management will be performed with utmost efficiency (Waddell, 2015)
Task 2
2 testing methodologies that are reviewed and compared are as follows: -
 Test Rail
 Spira Test
Comparison in between Test Rail and Spira Test are as follows: -

SOFTWARE TESTING
In case of Spira test step by step completion of the project can be performed, leading to
the fact that the data with utmost efficient management and the completion of the work can be
processed with higher accuracy. Again in case of Test rail, the processing of integration along
with the confluence of the products are performed and the tools that are used in this methodology
are homemade and automated in nature. This is a major reason that the projection of best Rail
can be performed 24/7 and the business management is much more efficient in nature. Complex
procedure of creating the test run is not taken into consideration, and this testing methodology
also has the ability to check the processing of the product and compare the same with the other
business models.
In case of Spira Testing as well as in the Test Rail testing methodology, the main focus of
the methodology is to secure the product and check the dispensation of statistics administration,
foremost to the fact that the data administration will be achieved with the utmost proficiency.
This is the major aim that the dispensation of data management can be achieved with the help of
test organizations.
Another major advantage of Spira testing that is not present in the course of data
management is that the Spira testing will provide the processing of data management will be
done with the help of script adding and this will be performed with the help of data management.
This is one of the major reason that the efficiency of Spira testing is so high but in case of Test
Rail, the major advantage it enjoys is the processing of data management with the help of the
estimation of the data that will be allotted to the system. This is the major reason that the
accuracy of the Test Rail is lower than that of Spira testing. This leads to the fact that the data
management of Spira testing is better than that of Test Rail.

SOFTWARE TESTING
In case of Test Rail, exporting pf word is not possible which creates a major impact on
the processing of the testing methodology. Where as in case of Spira testing exporting of word is
possible and this is the sole reason that the testing methodology is performed with both Spira
testing methodology as well as the Test Rail methodology. Creating test scenario is also one of
the main advantage of Spira testing methodology but it is not possible in that the of the Test Rail
testing methodology.
Pricing of Spira test methodology is very well organized and the cost that is to be
incurred is very well contrasted with the processing of the testing methodology. This
methodology has the best in class pricing strategy and this is one of the major reason of using
Spira testing. In case of using the Test Rail processing, the price that is experienced in the
conclusion of the challenging methodology is also very competent in nature and this is the main
reason that will incur the dispensation of testing administration. In case of Test Rail, the main
prospect is that the data administration is treated with highest efficiency. This clues to the fact
that the data supervision can be done with the help of least pricing strategy.
Marketing strategy of Spira testing is very good. This clues to the detail that the
information that are to be shared among the global audience is used for projection of
informations management. This leads to the fact that the clients stay informed regarding the
processing of management. This is the aim that the processing of the statistics management can
be done. In case of Test Rail, the main drawback that it faces is the lack of marketing that is
present in the processing of the testing methodologies that are provided by the Test Rail testing
Methodology Company. This is one of the major reason that the clients that are associated with
the Test Rail Company, stay unaware of the functioning of the Test Rail Company. This is the
reason that the expansion of Test Rail testing methodology has not been flourishing.

Conclusion
From the above report it can be concluded that the projection of the cost that is incurred
in the processing of the testing methodology acts as one of the major advantage of the business
processing. The quality and the specifications that are to be maintained in the products are stated
in the Australian standards. This ensures the fact that the products that will be imported in
Australia will have to go through a testing schema and only if the product passes all the quality
check, the probation of the products are checked and the products are permitted to enter the
Australian market.
