Linaro - Activities
1 Linaro maintains an automated testing system called LAVA (Linaro Automated Validation Architecture) that Linaro developed. LAVA aims at improving automated testing of the open source components that are
used in the major Linux-based software platforms and to increase
the confidence in the quality of enablement of the member's

Software testing - Automated testing
1 Many programming groups are relying more and more on automated
testing, especially groups that use test-driven development. There are many frameworks to write tests in, and continuous integration software
will run tests automatically every time code is checked into a version
control system.

Regression testing - Background
1 Although this may be done through manual testing procedures using
programming techniques, it is often done using automated testing tools

Regression testing - Background
1 Regression testing is an integral part of the extreme programming
software development method. In this method, design documents are replaced by extensive, repeatable, and automated testing of the entire software package throughout each stage of the software development
cycle.

Software construction - Constructing for verification
1 Constructing for verification means building software in such a way that faults can be
ferreted out readily by the software engineers writing the software, as well as during
independent testing and operational activities. Specific techniques that support constructing
for verification include following coding standards to support code reviews, unit testing, organizing code to support automated testing,
and restricted use of complex or hard-to-understand language structures, among others.

Software regression
1 Regressions are often caused by encompassed bug fixes included in software patches. One approach to
avoiding this kind of problem is regression testing. A properly
designed test plan prevents this possibility before releasing any
software. Automated testing and well-written test cases can reduce
the likelihood of a regression.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-automated-testing-toolkit.html
Test strategy - Testing Tools
1 There are two methods used in executing test cases: manual and
automated. Depending on the nature of the testing, it is usually the case that a combination of manual and
automated testing is the best testing method.

Test script
1 The major advantage of automated testing is that tests may be executed continuously without the need for a
human intervention. Another advantage over manual testing in
that it is faster and easily repeatable. Thus, it is worth considering
automating tests if they are to be executed several times, for example
as part of regression testing.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-automated-testing-toolkit.html

improve the process of software delivery. Techniques such as

deployment allow software to be developed to a high standard and

to rapidly, reliably and repeatedly push out enhancements and bug fixes to customers at low risk and with minimal manual overhead.

their spam. ORBS was controversial at the time because many people felt
running an open relay was acceptable, and that scanning the
Internet for open mail servers could be abusive.

Keyword-driven testing
1 'Keyword-driven testing', also known as 'table-driven testing' or 'action word based testing', is a software testing methodology
suitable for both Hand|manual and automated testing. This method separates the documentation of test cases -including

it separates the test creation process into two distinct stages: a design and development
stage, and an execution stage.
