Test Case Review Processes in Software Testing

Abstract

-Qualitative system requirements and thoughtful communication are the key factors to successful implementation of software development projects. However, errors that occur by misunderstanding and incomprehension between parties involved in the project can lead not only to the high cost of the project but also to a large number of defects discovered only after the system release, which in turn strongly influences the product quality. The software review processes are implemented to reduce projects costs and ensure high product quality. The goal of the present paper is to identify the role of review processes in software testing. To achieve this goal, the process of test case review has been implemented during testing.

Test-Driven Code Review: An Empirical Study

“…Many articles on classical inspection (e.g., [29], [54]) underline the importance of reviewing tests; however, they do not leave any specific recommendation. The benefits of reviewing tests are also highlighted in two case studies [30], [35]. Already in Fagan's seminal paper [17], the inspection of tests is discussed, in this case noting fewer benefits compared to the inspection of production code.…”
