In software testing a test driver is a software component or application that initiates and controls the execution of a program under test, especially when such components are part of a larger system and cannot run in isolation. [1] Drivers control applications across various stages of software testing, from unit [2] and integration testing ...
In software testing, a test harness is a collection of stubs and drivers configured to assist with the testing of an application or component. [1] [2] It acts as imitation infrastructure for test environments or containers where the full infrastructure is either not available or not desired. Test harnesses allow for the automation of tests.
Test stub. A test stub is a test double that provides static values to the software under test. A test stub provides canned answers to calls made during the test, usually not responding at all to anything outside what's programmed in for the test. [1] A stub may be coded by hand or generated via a tool .
Stub (distributed computing) In distributed computing, a stub is a program that acts as a temporary replacement for a remote service or object. [1] It allows the client application to access a service as if it were local, while hiding the details of the underlying network communication. This can simplify the development process, as the client ...
Software testing. Software testing is the act of checking whether software satisfies expectations. Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and the risk of its failure to a user or sponsor. [1] Software testing can determine the correctness of software for specific scenarios, but cannot ...
The Association for Software Testing, commonly referred to as the AST, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the science and practice of software testing according to context-driven principles. AST' s membership consists of scholars, students and practitioners who are interested in the advancement of the field of software testing.
The International Software Testing Qualifications Board ( ISTQB) is a software testing certification board that operates internationally. [1] Founded in Edinburgh in November 2002, the ISTQB is a non-profit association legally registered in Belgium. ISTQB Certified Tester is a standardized qualification for software testers and the ...
System under test. System under test ( SUT) refers to a system that is being tested for correct operation. According to ISTQB it is the test object. [1] [2] [3] From a unit testing perspective, the system under test represents all of the classes in a test that are not predefined pieces of code like stubs or even mocks.
