Determining criteria for a decision
When evaluating the contents of a test, the following three-point scale can be
used, for example:
Grade Decision criteria
0 -
or
Requirements are not fulfilled.
- Intolerable errors were determined which could not be
eliminated.
1 -
or
Requirements are fulfilled, there are still some reservations,
however (e.g. function is not entirely suitable).
- Minor errors were detected. These are relatively
unimportant as they only have a tolerable effect on
production, or as they only occur with a negligible degree of
probability.
2 -
and
Requirements are fulfilled completely.
- Errors which may have arisen could either be eliminated or
have no effect on production.
In the event that errors have arisen which cannot be reproduced, the tester
must decide to which category (grade) the error should be allocated.
If errors have occurred which can be eliminated during testing, these should
be tested again after elimination.
Example:
The example of a compression program in S 2.81 Preselection of a Suitable
Standard Software Product is continued here in order to describe how the
testing time can be determined for each requirement of the Requirement
Catalogue. The testing time is based on the depth and complexity of the test.
The confidence factor represents the amount of confidence in the feature.
The frequency of use, proneness to error and complexity of a feature are
assessed as follows:
- 1 means "low"
- 2 means "moderate"
- 3 means "high"
