Abstract
The test procedures and program verification methods that should be used in planning a software development are presented. Planning considerations cover initial determination of test objectives, test planning criteria, the use of test tools based upon the anticipated design and application error set, and test standards. The presentation is directed to the manager who has had some software experience and wishes to be thorough in preparation. The test methodology stressed is test being performed parallel to program development, starting with an early (prior to code generation) analysis of program requirements and specifications, followed by static analysis of source code, execution analysis of computer program subelements, and integrated system testing. Included is a discussion of automated tools now being used to relieve test analysts of tedious code analysis tasks. Results of a study in which errors from 11 previous verification and validation projects were collected and categorized by severity and functional type are presented.
