Defect density stats ?
By Luis Gil - May 3, 20173 Answers

Have you been measuring how many defects you find at unit testing and system testing per KLOC and how much may cost to fix them?

 

I can find some information like:

with code reviews + unit testing one can find up to 70% of the defects.

https://www.iiitd.edu.in/~jalote/papers/2WCSQPaper.pdf

Other studies say that the cost of finding and fixing a defect at unit testing is $428 and at system testing is $1045.

Do you know more benchmarks per industry type ?

What is your experience ?

 

Thanks in advance

when is it acceptable to reference the results of another test script to validate the current test?
By Lisa Breedlove - April 19, 20171 Answer

can you validate a test case at the device level by pointing to the results of a test case at the functional or unit level? (Can a Uit test be used for validation of a Device level test?  Can a Unit test be used to validate an Integration level test?)

Can you validate a test case by pointing to another test case at the same level? (i.e., can one DFS test be used to validate another DFS test?, can one Unit test be used to validate another Unit test?)

Looking for a tool that checks through code and generates list of aspects that can be tested
By Istvan Fay - April 5, 20173 Answers

Hi!

I am looking for a tool that would go through a piece of code and would generate a list of all aspects that could / should be tested:

  • the interesting values of a variable: especially the values where decisions are based upon
  • all the possible combination at logic brenches: the combinations that lead the execution of the code to a specific path

That are two kinds of code that are actual at the moment:

  • C code
  • model-based development

Thanks for  your ideas and support!

What are some best practices for testing applications built upon a dependent SaaS API (i.e. Eloqua or Salesforce)?
By Rick S - February 28, 20171 Answer

One of the challenges our QA faces is being able to test our application, which abstracts behavior from the SaaS API, such as the SF API, Eloqua API, Google API, etc., and ensuring the applicatino is behaving correctly.  Some SaaS sources have data that changes and we DO need to also verify data.  Since some of the SaaS sources are also not updateable programatically, you can't know if the SUT is in the state you need it.  Thoughts?
