Software Testing System

A Software Testing System is a testing system that is a software system (for conducting software testing and managing test processes).

• AKA: Testing Environment.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) execute Software Tests through test methods.
  • It can (typically) validate Software Quality through quality checks.
  • It can (typically) manage Test Cases through test organization.
  • It can (typically) generate Test Reports through result analysis.
  • It can (typically) track Test Coverage through coverage analysis.
  • ...
  • It can (often) integrate with development workflows through continuous integration.
  • It can (often) support test data management through data handling.
  • It can (often) facilitate test environment setup through configuration management.
  • It can (often) enable test collaboration through team coordination.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Testing System to being a Complex Testing System, depending on its testing capability.
  • It can range from being a Manual Software Testing System to being an Automated Software Testing System, depending on its automation level.
  • It can range from being a Single-Purpose Testing System to being a Multi-Purpose Testing System, depending on its testing scope.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Testing System to being an Integrated Testing System, depending on its integration level.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Testing Approaches, such as:
    • Functional Testing Systems, such as:
      • Unit Testing Systems, for code validation.
      • Integration Testing Systems, for component testing.
    • Non-Functional Testing Systems, such as:
      • Performance Testing Systems, for performance validation.
      • Security Testing Systems, for security assessment.
  • Testing Architectures, such as:
    • Framework-Based Systems, such as:
      • Test Framework Systems, for structured testing.
      • Test Runner Systems, for test execution.
    • Platform-Based Systems, such as:
      • Test Platform Systems, for enterprise testing.
      • Test Cloud Systems, for distributed testing.
  • Testing Processes, such as:
    • Continuous Testing Systems, such as:
      • Pipeline Testing Systems, for continuous validation.
      • Regression Testing Systems, for change validation.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Development Environment, which focuses on code creation.
  • Build System, which handles software compilation.
  • Deployment System, which manages software releases.
  • Monitoring System, which tracks runtime behavior.
