Test and Test Design Bugs in Software Testing

• Testing: Testers have no immunity to bugs. Tests require complicated scenarios and databases
• Testers will require code or the equivalent to execute and consequently they can identify the bugs

Test Criteria:

If the specification is correct, it is correctly interpreted and implemented and a proper test has been designed, but the criterion by which the software's behaviour is judged may be incorrect or impossible. So, a proper test criteria has to be designed

The more complicated the criteria, the more likely they are to have bugs

Test and Test Design Bugs

Test Debugging:

The first remedy for test bugs is, testing and debugging the tests

Test debugging, when compared to program debugging, is easier because tests, when properly designed are simpler than programs and do not have to make concessions to efficiency

Test Quality Assurance:

Programmers have the right to ask how quality in independent testing is monitored

Test Execution Automation:

The history of software bug removal and prevention is indistinguishable from the history of programming automation aids

Assemblers, loaders, compilers are developed to reduced the incidence of programming and operation errors

Test execution bugs are virtually eliminated by various test execution automation tools

Test Design Automation:

Just as much of software development has been automated, much test design can be and has been automated

For a given productivity rate, automation reduces the bug count, be it for software or be it for tests
