"ISO 29119 - The New Set of International Standards on Software Testing" with...TEST Huddle
view webinar: http://www.eurostarconferences.com/community/member/webinar-archive/webinar-75-iso-29119---the-new-set-of-international-standards-on-software-testing
In May 2007 ISO formed a working group to develop new standards on software testing - a new area for ISO - the first three of these standards were published in September 2013. This initiative is closely-supported by IEEE and BSI, both of which have donated existing standards as source documents to the project (these standards will be retired as the new standards are published).
There are currently six new software testing standards either published or in development:
Concepts and Terminology (ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-1)
Test Processes (ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2
Test Documentation (ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3)
Test Techniques (ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4)
Keyword-Driven Testing (ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-5)
Test Assessment (ISO/IEC 33063)
This webinar will initially introduce the purpose of standards in general as there are quite a few widely-held misconceptions on standards. Next we will look at why there is a need for internationally-recognized software testing standards, followed by a brief look at how they have been developed. The main part of the webinar will cover what standards are included in ISO 29119, their content, and how they are related. How these standards apply to your work, the current status of each of the standards, and details of how you can get involved, will be explained at the end.
ISO 29119 has already been released in draft form for review (and subsequently been updated based on literally thousands of comments) and is already being used within a number of multi-national organizations. These organizations are already seeing the benefits of reusing the well-defined processes and documentation provided by a standard reflecting current industry best practices.
ISO 29119 -The new international software testing standardsFareha Nadeem
ISO 29119 provides guidelines for software testing through a set of international standards. It defines key testing concepts and establishes standard processes and documentation for testing activities. The standards are organized into four parts that cover testing concepts and vocabulary, processes, documentation, and techniques. Adopting ISO 29119 provides organizations with a consistent, internationally-recognized approach to software testing.
This document provides an overview of software testing concepts and best practices. It defines key terms like errors, defects, and failures. It describes different testing approaches like black box and white box testing. It also outlines different testing levels from unit to system testing. The document emphasizes that testing aims to find defects, but it's impossible to test all possibilities. It stresses the importance of test planning, test cases, defect reports, and regression testing with new versions.
Software quality is defined as the degree to which a system meets specified requirements and customer expectations. It should be predictable, measurable during development and after release, apparent to customers, and continue during maintenance. Implementing standards increases quality, reduces costs and improves manageability. Metrics and measures provide quantitative evaluations of reliability and quality to make objective decisions. Quality assurance activities like verification and validation evaluate the development process and ensure requirements are met.
The document discusses software process models and methodologies, specifically the Personal Software Process (PSP) and Team Software Process (TSP) developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). It provides an overview of how PSP teaches individuals to establish measurable and repeatable development processes to improve performance. Engineers learn the PSP over 7 levels, gathering and analyzing data from small programming assignments to establish performance baselines and drive process improvements. The PSP aims to develop individual discipline and skills needed for successful team development using TSP.
The document discusses the ISO 29119 standard for software testing. It provides an overview of the standard and its key parts, including test processes (Part 2), test documentation (Part 3), and test techniques (Part 4). The standard aims to define a set of testing concepts, processes, and documentation that can be applied internationally. It covers topics like requirements-based testing, model-based testing, test documentation hierarchies, and mapping quality characteristics to test types and designs. The document also briefly discusses complementary standards like TMMi for improving testing processes and practices.
This document discusses quality assurance and quality control procedures for chemical test laboratories to meet ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements. It covers establishing quality assurance plans, differentiating quality assurance and quality control, applying quality control practices like blanks, replicates, and laboratory controls. Quality control charts are presented as a tool to monitor analytical accuracy and precision over time.

EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference 2008 presentation on ISO 29119: The New International Software Testing Standard by Stuart Reid. See more at conferences.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com/past-presentations/
The document provides an overview of the formal technical review (FTR) process. It discusses the objectives and benefits of FTR, which include improving quality and reducing defects and costs. The document outlines the basic principles of review, including a general inspection process with phases for planning, orientation, preparation, review meeting, rework, and verification. It also discusses critical success factors for effective reviews, such as using detailed checklists to guide inspection and allocating sufficient time for preparation.
Brief introduction to Session-Based Test Management and to how Exploratory Testing is understood and approached under the influence of the Context-Driven Testing movement.
Ewan Glen looked at the role of Integrated Baseline Reviews, (IBR), as a tool in assurance. The aim of an IBR is to assure both the customer and supplier’s PM team that they have a common understanding of what is to be delivered and how.
The document discusses test planning, analysis, design, implementation, and execution. It describes the roles and responsibilities of test analysts in each phase of testing. This includes activities like creating test cases and conditions, designing test suites, implementing test data and environments, executing tests, and logging test results. Test implementation is influenced by factors like the development lifecycle model, quality characteristics, test infrastructure, and exit criteria.
A software system is more than the code; it is a set of related artifacts; these may contain defects or problem areas that should be reworked or removed; quality-related attributes of these artifacts should be evaluated
Reviews allow us to detect and eliminate errors/defects early in the software life cycle (even before any code is available for testing), where they are less costly to repair
Most problems have their origin in requirements and design; requirements and design artifacts can be reviewed but not executed and tested
A code review usually reveals directly the location of a bug, while testing requires a debugging step to locate the origin of a bug
Adherence to coding standards cannot be checked by testing
This document provides an overview of quality assurance (QA) workshop concepts, including definitions, quality attributes, software quality assurance (SQA) concepts, software testing types and techniques, and pre-requisites and deliverables.

Metrics for inspections and different fault handling techniques are also summarized.
Innovation is a key element for companies in providing growth and for increasing results. Innovation means a new way of doing business; it may refer to incremental, radical and/or revolutionary changes in extracting value for a business through a fundamental change in approach to a market, a technology, or a process. A company that overlooks new and better ways of doing business will eventually lose customers to another competitor that has found a better way.
However innovations as any other aspect of a business require an investment and investment is about the future. Sometimes you invest in a future that plays by the same rules as today. Other investment is about a new future that plays by new rules. If you make investment decisions on an extrapolated new future based on the today’s rules then you can make costly mistakes.
Investment decisions can require complex analyses. To make them easier, managers often use tools to help with the financial analysis. The problem with these tools is that they often value innovation and non innovation in the same terms. They encourage managers to make unfair demands on returns on investment for internal innovation projects.
We believe that creativity is a process not an accident (“chance prefers the prepared mind”), although it’s often tempting to believe that individuals are creative or non-creative. Creative people also love to play around with the ideas that they collect. For them everything is connected – part of an overall pattern. Old ideas are moved around, combined, squeezed, and stretched to make new ideas.
Innovation within businesses is achieved in many ways. One way involves the use of creativity techniques. These are methods that encourage original thoughts and divergent thinking (e. g. brainstorming, morphological analysis, TRIZ). New ideas that have been generated by the use of creativity techniques have to be structured and evaluated. In order to complete the innovation process the selected promising ideas have to be deployed into practice.
For this reason we have developed a structured methodology that supports the ongoing evaluation of innovations throughout the prioritization, piloting, and deployment lifecycle We make use of process performance analyses as an input to three levels of statistical thinking that support the innovation process from identified needs to pilot results.
The first step is collect together old ideas – as well as existing facts. You need to know as much about the world in general and get a solid, deep working knowledge of the business situation that underlies the need for a new idea. This may seem daunting or unnecessary, but facts are the raw material for innovation. And because of changes to markets, competition, regulation, and technologies, “old ideas” previously dismissed may, perhaps after further adaptation, take on renewed promise.
It is important to approach innovation and its evaluation through a broad appreciation for causality: al

The document discusses architecture reviews, which assess an architecture's ability to fulfill quality requirements and identify risks. It describes the goals of ensuring documentation, coherence, standards compliance, and achieving project goals. Types of reviews include project process, purchase process, and iterative reviews. The basic review flow involves submitting documents, review, resolving issues, and approval or rejection. Roles in the process include the moderator, recorder, reviewers, and author/design team. Benefits are identifying risks, assessing quality attributes, promoting practices, and capturing design rationale.
Test planning involves defining the scope, objectives, and activities for testing a project. It is done early in the project and produces a master test plan. Key activities include identifying what needs testing, assigning roles and resources, and defining entry and exit criteria. Estimating test effort can be done using metrics from past projects or by eliciting estimates from subject matter experts. Product characteristics, development processes, and expected test outcomes all impact the level of effort required for testing.
Architecture reviews are effective for ensuring design quality and addressing architectural concerns. The objectives are to assess if the architecture can fulfill requirements and identify potential risks. The review process involves preparing work products and a plan, examining the work, preparing a review package, conducting the review with roles like a moderator and recorder, and identifying goals and benefits such as reducing costs from undetected problems and improving documentation.
Requirements inspections are a formal process for identifying defects in software requirements documents. It involves individual review followed by a team review meeting led by a moderator. Key roles include author, reader, tester, and moderator. The goal is to find defects in requirements before they can lead to problems in design and testing. Studies show requirements inspections can find 60-90% of defects and reduce costs from rework. The process includes planning, individual review, team meeting, defect resolution, and validation. Metrics are collected on defects found and author response to drive continuous improvement. Management oversees planning and results but does not participate directly in inspections.
Software quality assurance (SQA) involves planning and implementing activities throughout development to ensure quality. SQA includes standards, reviews, testing, defect tracking, and risk management. Statistical SQA categorizes defects and identifies their root causes to improve processes. Reviews are important for uncovering errors and should involve preparation, focus on the work product, and result in accepting or rejecting the product. Metrics collected from reviews indicate their effectiveness at defect detection and removal.
This document provides an overview of an approach for right sizing design review plans for projects and programs. It discusses establishing a multi-tiered review approach including technical and peer reviews of lower-level design products, component design reviews, subsystem design reviews, and system-level reviews. It emphasizes the importance of planning the review approach, defining objectives and participation for each review level, and using lessons learned to improve efficiency while maintaining thoroughness.
This document discusses project quality management. It covers quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control. Quality planning involves identifying quality requirements and documenting how quality will be ensured. Quality assurance involves auditing quality requirements and results to ensure standards are used properly. Quality control involves monitoring and recording results to assess performance and recommend changes. Key techniques discussed include quality audits, control charts, flowcharting, histograms, Pareto charts, and statistical sampling. The overall goal of quality management is to deliver a project that meets requirements and satisfies the customer.

REVIEWS
13. • Anything can be reviewed
– in parts or the whole thing
• For example:
– Contracts
– Requirements Specification
– Design Specification
– Code
– Test Specification
– User Manual
– User Procedures
– Project Plan
– Test Plan
– Development Plan
Why ‘Work Product’ Reviews?
14. • What do you think?
• Find defects
• Measure quality
• Educate reviewers
• Gain consensus
• Generate new ideas
• Motivate authors to improve their practices
Software Reviews – Main Purpose
17. • Identify review scope
– what is being reviewed
– the purpose of the review (there may be more than one)
– relevant supporting information, such as standards
– the timeframes for the review
• Identify review characteristics
– review activities
– individual review techniques
– checklists
• Distribute review materials (as early as possible)
– product to be reviewed
– baseline specifications
– checklists

21. • The author collates the Issues identified by the reviewers
• Collated issues are analysed and a decision made on what
to do with each issue
• Issue Review Status
– ‘rejected’
– ‘issue to be noted but no action’
– ‘issue to be addressed’
– ‘issue updated due to analysis’
– etc.
• Issues are then assigned based on their review status.
– to authors
– to other responsible individuals (e.g. to update earlier
specifications, organization standards)

22. • Finally the review decision is made on the reviewed
product:
– used as is
– updated based on the identified issues and used
– reworked and re-reviewed
– discarded
• The BIG Question – is this analysis and decision-making
done by the author or done by a group of reviewers as
part of a Review Meeting???

23. • The author
– addresses the outstanding issues
– organizes for others to fix their outstanding issues in related
documents
• in ‘earlier’ specifications
• in organizational standards
– checks that all issues have been addressed
– either:
• publishes the updated work product
• submits the updated work product for re-review
• The reviewers
– sign off on the final version (confirming that issues addressed)
• A Review Report is generated

27. • Ad Hoc Reviewing
• Checklist-Based Reviewing
• Scenario-Based Reviewing
• Perspective-Based Reading (PBR)
Individual Review Techniques
28. • This is the most common approach (completely
unstructured)
• Each reviewer is expected to find as many defects as
possible of any type
• Little or no guidance on how to review is provided
• This approach is highly-dependent on reviewer skills
• Often the same issues are identified by different
reviewers
Ad Hoc Individual Review
“60% of reviewers don’t
prepare at all”
30. • A systematic approach to identifying defects
• Typically review checklists take the form of a set of
questions based on potential defects (and risk)
• Assign different reviewers to different checklists to
– get wider coverage
– prevent the duplication inherent in the ad hoc approach
• There is a danger that some reviewers limit themselves to
only considering the checklist entries
• Will normally take longer than using an ad hoc approach
– often multiple passes are needed to cover all questions
(especially if checklist is long)
– Requires a systematic approach
Checklist-based Review
“50% OF REVIEWERS
USE CHECKLISTS”
31. • Checklist defects are derived from experience
– within the project
– within the organization
– across the industry as a whole
• Checklists should be specific to
– the product under review (be wary of generic questions)
– the methodology used to develop the work product (e.g. there may
be different checklist questions for requirements in the form of plain
text to those in the form of use cases or user stories)
– the application domain of the work product (e. g. a checklist for a
banking work product may be based on banking regulations while a
checklist for an avionics work product would be based on avionics
standards)
• Checklists should be based on risk
– to ensure that the most important (and the most frequently-
occurring) risks are reviewed in more depth
Creating Checklists
32. • Many checklists are too long and never change
• The ideal checklist should be constrained to about 10
entries and regularly updated
– as entries become stale and find fewer issues (hopefully
because the authors have learned and improved)
– new entries should reflect issues missed in the recent past
Managing Checklists
34. • Used where multiple scenarios can be identified for different
users
• Reviewers perform ‘dry runs’ on the work product to check
functionality and handling of error conditions
– following scenarios rather than reading the document from top to
bottom
• Assign different reviewers to different scenarios to:
– get wider coverage
– prevent the duplication inherent in the ad hoc approach
• There is a danger that some reviewers limit themselves to only
considering the provided scenarios
– and will miss defects of omission, where required functionality is not
included in the work product under review
• Research indicates that scenario-based reviews
– can be more cost effective than checklist-based reviews
– but they do take longer
Scenario-based Reviewing
35. • Where requirements, designs (or tests) are documented in a scenario-
type format (e.g. use cases) then the existing specifications are a good
starting point
– the review can then use the modelled scenarios to drive the review
• However, scenarios typically also need to be created (we need
multiple scenarios to cover everything):
– overview scenario
– most common scenarios
– alternative scenarios
– error condition scenarios
– growth scenarios (e.g. for an architecture review)
– input handling scenarios
– output generating scenario
– enquiry scenarios (getting specific results)
• Scenarios should be based on risk
– to ensure that the most important (and the most frequently-used)
scenarios are reviewed in more depth
