Investigation onto the Software Testing Techniques and Tools: An Evaluation and Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Software testing are executed throughout all phases of software development life cycle (SDLC). It is though time consuming, labour intensive and now becoming expensive due to the used of an automated tool system. Errors and defect detection in software are identify using software techniques and tools. These techniques and tools are numerous and to improve on the software quality, there is the need to conduct a testing activity using a suitable technique so as to ascertained a product with an excellent quality features such as being; reliable, secure, efficient etc. In most cases, multiple automated techniques and tools are required to cover all the possible testing state, with the requirement of high skilled expertise, making it professional. The aim of this paper is to investigate on some kind of dynamic testing techniques (white, black and grey box) and an automated tools (load, web and mobile) given their comparative and evaluation analysis based on an established criterion. The conclusion of this investigation, has shown that choosing an appropriate techniques/tools increases test depth, software reliability and as well reduces their execution period with greater flexibility.

Optimization of White Box Testing by Utilizing Branching and Repeating Structures in Java Programs Using Base Path

“…The main purpose of the graph matrix is to determine the test path that must be carried out to achieve comprehensive test coverage. With a graph matrix, testers can identify which nodes belong to a particular execution path (Arwan and Rusdianto 2017;Shuaibu et al, 2019;Padmanabhan, 2022). Apart from that, the graph matrix is also useful for tracking which nodes have been covered and which have not been covered by the test cases that have been designed.…”

BW-TOPSIS: A Hybrid Method to Evaluate Software Testing Techniques

“…Ibarra and Rodriguez [9] proposed a content-based system for the evaluation of software testing techniques based on the characteristics of a target project using a collaborative approach. Shuaibu et al [10] investigated different types of software testing techniques by comparative analysis based on different characteristics of the software system. Farooq [11] presented an empirical study for the assessment of three software testing methods, namely functional, code reading, and structural testing.…”
