Aligning Software Testing Activities to V-Model Phases
Timo Hynninen, Antti Knutas, Jussi Kasurinen · 2018
This paper presents an approach to map the V-Model development phases and testing levels with corresponding, actual testing techniques. We evaluated the approach with a 7 week undergraduate course on the basics of software testing. Our observations indicate that special care should be taken in stressing the objectives and outcomes of testing work, as these were neglected in many assignments returned by students. By contrast, the students seem to intuitively have good skills in applying testing techniques and defining test cases in exploratory testing work.
