
The life cycle model that is adopted for a project will
have a big impact on the testing that is carried out.
Testing does not exist in isolation; test activities are
highly related to software development activities. It
will define the what, where, and when of our planned
testing, influence regression testing, and largely
determine which test techniques to use.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
MODELS


V-model
Before discussing the V-model, we will
look at the model which came before it.
The waterfall model was one of the
earliest models to be designed. It has a
natural timeline where tasks are
executed in a sequential fashion. We
start at the top of the waterfall with a
feasibility study and flow down through
the various project tasks finishing with
implementation into the live
environment. Design flows through into
development, which in turn flows into
build, and finally on into test.


Although variants of the V-model exist, a common type of V-model uses four
test levels. The four test levels used, each with their own objectives, are:
 component testing: searches for defects in and verifies the functioning of
software components (e.g. modules, programs, objects, classes etc.) that are
separately testable;
 integration testing: tests interfaces between components, interactions to
different parts of a system such as an operating system, file system and
hard ware or interfaces between systems;
 system testing: concerned with the behavior of the whole system/product
as defined by the scope of a development project or product. The main
focus of system testing is verification against specified requirements;
 acceptance testing: validation testing with respect to user needs, require
ments, and business processes conducted to determine whether or not to
accept the system.

Note that the types of work products mentioned in Figure 2.2 on the left
side of the V-model are just an illustration. In practice they come under
many different names. References for generic work products include the
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMi) or the 'Software life cycle
processes' from ISO/IEC 12207.


Iterative Life Cycles
Not all life cycles are sequential. There are also iterative or incremental life
cycles where, instead of one large development time line from beginning
to end, we cycle through a number of smaller self-contained life cycle
phases for the same project. As with the V-model, there are many variants
of iterative life cycles.


A common feature of iterative approaches is that the
delivery is divided into increments or builds with each
increment adding new functionality. The initial increment
will contain the infrastructure required to support the initial
build functionality. The increment produced by an iteration
may be tested at several levels as part of its development.
Subsequent increments will need testing for the new
functionality, regression testing of the existing functionality,
and integration testing of both new and existing parts.
Regression testing is increasingly important on all iterations
after the first one. This means that more testing will be
required at each subsequent delivery phase which must be
allowed for in the project plans.

 Rapid Application Development
Rapid Application Development (RAD) is
formally a parallel development of functions and
subsequent integration.
Continue…


The RAD development process encourages active customer
feedback. The customer gets early visibility of the product,
can provide feedback on the design and can decide, based on
the existing functionality, whether to proceed with the
development, what functionality to include in the next
delivery cycle or even to halt the project if it is not delivering
the expected value. An early business-focused solution in the
market place gives an early return on investment (ROI) and
can provide valuable marketing information for the business.
Validation with the RAD development process is thus an
early and major activity.

 Agile development
Extreme Programming (XP) is currently one of the most well-known
agile development life cycle models. (See [Agile] for ideas behind this
approach.) The methodology claims to be more human friendly than
traditional development methods. Some characteristics of XP are:
 It promotes the generation of business stories to define the functionality.
 It demands an on-site customer for continual feedback and to define and
carry out functional acceptance testing .
 It promotes pair programming and shared code ownership amongst the
developers.
 It states that component test scripts shall be written before the code is
written and that those tests should be automated.
 It states that integration and testing of the code shall happen several times
a day.
 It states that we always implement the simplest solution to meet today's
problems.
Continue…


 In summary, whichever life cycle model is being used,
there are several characteristics of good testing:
 for every development activity there is a corresponding
testing activity;
 each test level has test objectives specific to that level;
 the analysis and design of tests for a given test level
should begin during the corresponding development
activity;
 testers should be involved in reviewing documents as
soon as drafts are avail able in the development cycle.
