The
V-Concept of Testing |
| |
The
V Concept of testing detail on the sequence with
which the testing should be performed. The
life cycle testing is performed against
the deliverables at the pre-determined specified
points. The SDLC
has to be pre-determined for this to happen.
The
V concept recommends both the System Development
and the System test process to start at the same
point referring the same information. The development
will have the responsibility of documenting the
requirements for the development purpose; which
the test team could use for testing purpose as
well.
In the V-testing
concept, your project’s Do and Check procedures
slowly converge from start to finish, which indicates
that as the Do team
attempts to implement a solution, the
Check team concurrently develops a process
to minimize or eliminate the risk. If the two
groups work closely together, the high level of
risk at a project’s inception will decrease
to an acceptable level by the project’s
conclusion. |

The
various steps involved in V-concept are listed
below: |

Step
1: Assess Development Plan and Status
This first step is a prerequisite to building
the VV&T Plan used to evaluate the implemented
software solution. During this step, testers challenge
the completeness and correctness of the development
plan. Based on the extensiveness and completeness
of the Project Plan the testers can estimate the
amount of resources they will need to test the
implemented software solution.
Step 2: Develop the Test
Plan
Forming the plan for testing will follow the same
pattern as any software planning process. The
structure of all plans should be the same, but
the content will vary based on the degree of risk
the testers perceive as associated with the software
being developed.
Step 3: Test Software Requirements
Incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent requirements
lead to most software failures. The inability
to get requirements right during the requirements
gathering phase can also increase the cost of
implementation significantly. Testers, through
verification, must determine that the requirements
are accurate, complete, and they do not conflict
with one another. |
