Test Implementation and Execution MAJOR TASKS Ø Reporting v Reporting Discrepancies as Incidents v Analyzing them in order to establish their Cause – a Defect in the Code – a Defect in specified Test Data, in the Test Document – a Mistake in the way the test was executed Dr. Wolfgang J. Schneider 2003 2006

Test Implementation and Execution MAJOR TASKS Ø Repeating Test Activities as Result of action taken for each Discrepancy Dr. Wolfgang J. Schneider 2003 2006

Test Implementation and Execution MAJOR TASKS Ø Repeating CONFIRMATION TESTING Reexecution of a Test that previously failed in order to confirm a Fix Dr. Wolfgang J. Schneider 2003 2006

Test Implementation and Execution MAJOR TASKS Ø Repeating REGRESSION TESTING Execution of a Corrected Test and/or Execution of Tests in order to ensure that Defects have not been introduced in Unchanged Areas of the Software or that Defect Fixing did not uncover other Defects Dr. Wolfgang J.
