Software Verification Testing Task

A Software Verification Testing Task is a specification-focused testing task that verifies software specification compliance.

• Context:
  • It can confirm Software Requirements Implementation through software verification test cases.
  • It can validate Software Design Specification Compliance through software verification test procedures.
  • It can ensure Software Technical Correctness through software verification test executions.
  • It can answer Software Product Building Questions through software verification test results.
  • It can support Software Quality Assurance Processes through software verification test documentation.
  • ...
  • It can often precede Software Validation Testing Tasks through software verification test sequencing.
  • It can often utilize Static Software Testing Methods through software verification test techniques.
  • It can often involve Software Document Reviews through software verification test activitys.
  • It can often include Software Code Inspections through software verification test practices.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Document Software Verification Testing Task to being a Code Software Verification Testing Task, depending on its software verification testing target type.
  • It can range from being a Manual Software Verification Testing Task to being an Automated Software Verification Testing Task, depending on its software verification testing execution method.
  • It can range from being an Informal Software Verification Testing Task to being a Formal Software Verification Testing Task, depending on its software verification testing rigor level.
  • It can range from being a Component Software Verification Testing Task to being a System Software Verification Testing Task, depending on its software verification testing scope level.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Build Software Verification Testing Tasks, such as:
    • Smoke Software Verification Testing Task for software build stability verification.
    • Build Acceptance Software Verification Testing Task for software build quality verification.
    • Continuous Integration Software Verification Testing Task for automated software build verification.
  • Requirements Software Verification Testing Tasks, such as:
    • Functional Requirements Software Verification Testing Task for functional software specification compliance.
    • Non-Functional Requirements Software Verification Testing Task for quality software attribute compliance.
    • Interface Requirements Software Verification Testing Task for interface software specification compliance.
  • Design Software Verification Testing Tasks, such as:
    • Architecture Software Verification Testing Task for architectural software design compliance.
    • Database Design Software Verification Testing Task for data software model compliance.
    • UI Design Software Verification Testing Task for user interface software specification compliance.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Software Validation Testing Task, which confirms user need satisfaction rather than software specification compliance.
  • Exploratory Software Testing Task, which discovers unknown software issues rather than software requirement verification.
  • User Acceptance Testing Task, which validates business value rather than software technical correctness.
  • Usability Testing Task, which evaluates user experience rather than software specification adherence.
