Which aspect of normal forms do entity-attribute-value tables violate, if any?
I’m not asking if EAV tables are good or bad. I’m wondering if they are considered “normalized”, and if not, why? If they aren’t normalized, which normal form are they violating and why?
Bug severity classification issues
In a book I have, there is a following classification of defect:
Where (if there is) is the IEEE glossary newer than 1990?
I have been looking for some formal definitons but could not find any IEEE newer than 610, which is from 1990. Could you help me please?
Severity and relation to occurence – priority?
I have been browsing through some webpages related to testing and found one dealing with the metrics of testing. It says:
Who are ‘users’ in testing?
Having e.g. a system for booking flights, during UAT it is not being tested by real users (customers who will buy tickets) rather than people from the client side who will just simulate this. Are there any more specific terms to distinquish between real users (like end user) and users doing the UAT?
Functional testing in the verification
Yesterday my question How come verification does not include actual testing? created a lot of controversy, yet did not reveal the answer for related and very important question: does black box functional testing done by testers belong to verification or validation?
bug: deviation from requirements vs deviation from expectations
I am not clear on this one. No matter the terminology, in the end the software fault/bug causes (according to a lot of sources):
Testing vs QA – output?
I was trying to find a relevant source of information for the above, but I failed. What is the output of software testing? Some say its “list of bugs”, others say “answer whether or not the software conforms to what customer wanted”.
I know testing is a part of QA but not sure what is its aim and output in this context.
Is verification and validation part of testing process?
Based on many sources I do not believe the simple definition that aim of testing is to find as many bugs as possible – we test to ensure that it works or that it does not. E.g. followint are goals of testing form ISTQB:
