Testing Dirty Systems
(TDS)


Dirty systems are defined as systems for which the tester may lack any of the following:

  • Complete Documentation
  • Full understanding of requirements
  • Design/Architecture is not done in a standardized format and/or
  • The defect density of the software is unknown

The object of this tutorial is to assist testers in how to approach testing a system, which in many instances appears as a "black-box" to them. The testing process is heavily focused on a diagnostic step, which scopes the test problem, and assists the tester in building an effective test plan. The process proposed in this presentation should significantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the software testing.
