Letter B

Backlog refinement

• the activity of creating and refining product backlog items, estimating and prioritizing them.

Ballpark estimate

• a ballpark estimate or figure is a number that is a guess, but one that you believe is near the correct number.

  Bash

• command language and shell.

basis test set:

• A set of test cases derived from the code logic which ensure that \% branch coverage is achieved.

behavior:

• The combination of input values and preconditions and the required response for a function of a system. The full specification of a function would normally comprise one or more behaviors.

beta testing:

• Operational testing at a site not otherwise involved with the software developers.
• Usually selected, committed users are invited.

big-bang testing:

• Integration testing where no incremental testing takes place prior to all the system’s components being combined to form the system.

black box testing:

• Specific knowledge of the application’s code, internal structure and programming knowledge in general is not required.
• Real life: The tester is aware of what the software is supposed to do but is not aware of how it does it.
• Typical black-box test design techniques include:
  • Error guessing
  • Use case testing
  • User story testing

bottom-up testing:

• An approach to integration testing where the lowest level components are tested first, then used to facilitate the testing of higher level components. The process is repeated until the component at the top of the hierarchy is tested.

branch:

• A conditional transfer of control from any statement to any other statement in a component, or an unconditional transfer of control from any statement to any other statement in the component except the next statement, or when a component has more than one entry point, a transfer of control to an entry point of the component.
• every major Android release starts with creating a branch from master AB [as this is part of repo the repo is branched and hence its called branch]. Example, RVC,QT, SC etc. Every branch will have a dev and release branch ex sc-dev, sc-d1-release

branch coverage:

• The percentage of branches that have been exercised by a test case suite

Browserstack

• software to test mobile (“App Live”) and web apps (“Live”) remotely on real devices.

bug:

• A manifestation of an error in software.
• a software bug is an error, flaw, or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.

Bug seeding [error seeding]:

• The process of intentionally adding known faults to those already in a computer program for the purpose of monitoring the rate of detection and removal, and estimating the number of faults remaining in the program. [IEEE]
