Independent Test Group (ITG): A group of people whose primary responsibility is software testing,
Inspection: A group review quality improvement process for written material. It consists of two aspects; product (document itself) improvement and process improvement (of both document production and inspection).
Integration Testing: Testing of combined parts of an application to determine if they function together correctly. Usually performed after unit and functional testing. This type of testing is especially relevant to client/server and distributed systems.
Installation Testing: Confirms that the application under test recovers from expected or unexpected events without loss of data or functionality. Events can include shortage of disk space, unexpected loss of communication, or power out conditions.

Functional Decomposition: A technique used during planning, analysis and design; creates a functional hierarchy for the software.
Functional Specification: A document that describes in detail the characteristics of the product with regard to its intended features.
Functional Testing: See also Black Box Testing.
Testing the features and operational behavior of a product to ensure they correspond to its specifications.
Testing that ignores the internal mechanism of a system or component and focuses solely on the outputs generated in response to selected inputs and execution conditions.

Emulator: A device, computer program, or system that accepts the same inputs and produces the same outputs as a given system.
Endurance Testing: Checks for memory leaks or other problems that may occur with prolonged execution.
End-to-End testing: Testing a complete application environment in a situation that mimics real-world use, such as interacting with a database, using network communications, or interacting with other hardware, applications, or systems if appropriate.
Equivalence Class: A portion of a component’s input or output domains for which the component’s behaviour is assumed to be the same from the component’s specification.
Equivalence Partitioning: A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed to execute representatives from equivalence classes.
Exhaustive Testing: Testing which covers all combinations of input values and preconditions for an element of the software under test.

Data Dictionary: A database that contains definitions of all data items defined during analysis.
Data Flow Diagram: A modeling notation that represents a functional decomposition of a system.
Data Driven Testing: Testing in which the action of a test case is parameterized by externally defined data values, maintained as a file or spreadsheet. A common technique in Automated Testing.
Debugging: The process of finding and removing the causes of software failures.
Defect: Nonconformance to requirements or functional / program specification
Dependency Testing: Examines an application’s requirements for pre-existing software, initial states and configuration in order to maintain proper functionality.
Depth Testing: A test that exercises a feature of a product in full detail.
Dynamic Testing: Testing software through executing it. See also Static Testing.

Backus-Naur Form: A metalanguage used to formally describe the syntax of a language.
Basic Block: A sequence of one or more consecutive, executable statements containing no branches.
Basis Path Testing: A white box test case design technique that uses the algorithmic flow of the
program to design tests.
Basis Set: The set of tests derived using basis path testing.
Baseline: The point at which some deliverable produced during the software engineering process is put
under formal change control.
Benchmark Testing: Tests that use representative sets of programs and data designed to evaluate the
performance of computer hardware and software in a given configuration.
Beta Testing: Testing of a rerelease of a software product conducted by customers.
Binary Portability Testing: Testing an executable application for portability across system platforms and
environments, usually for conformation to an ABI specification.
Black Box Testing: Testing based on an analysis of the specification of a piece of software without
reference to its internal workings. The goal is to test how well the component conforms to the published
requirements for the component.
Bottom Up Testing: An approach to integration testing where the lowest level components are tested
first, then used to facilitate the testing of higher level components. The process is repeated until the
component at the top of the hierarchy is tested.
Boundary Testing: Test which focus on the boundary or limit conditions of the software being tested.
(Some of these tests are stress tests).
Bug: A fault in a program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated
manner.
Boundary Value Analysis: BVA is similar to Equivalence Partitioning but focuses on “corner cases” or
values that are usually out of range as defined by the specification. his means that if a function expects
all values in range of negative 100 to positive 1000, test inputs would include negative 101 and positive
1001.
Branch Testing: Testing in which all branches in the program source code are tested at least once.
Breadth Testing: A test suite that exercises the full functionality of a product but does not test features in
detail.

A
Acceptance Testing: Testing conducted to enable a user/customer to determine whether to accept a software product. Normally performed to validate the software meets a set of agreed acceptance criteria.
Accessibility Testing: Verifying a product is accessible to the people having disabilities (deaf, blind, mentally disabled etc.).
Ad Hoc Testing: A testing phase where the tester tries to ‘break’ the system by randomly trying the system’s functionality. Can include negative testing as well. See also Monkey Testing.
Agile Testing: Testing practice for projects using agile methodologies, treating development as the customer of testing and emphasizing a test-first design paradigm. See also Test Driven Development.
Application Binary Interface (ABI): A specification defining requirements for portability of applications in binary forms across defferent system platforms and environments.
Application Programming Interface (API): A formalized set of software calls and routines that can be referenced by an application program in order to access supporting system or network services.
Automated Software Quality (ASQ): The use of software tools, such as automated testing tools, to improve software quality.
Automated Testing:
Testing employing software tools which execute tests without manual intervention. Can be applied in GUI, performance, API, etc. testing.
The use of software to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting functions.
