effective testing

subject fact

effective testing is a subtopic of 10.2 - Effective and Efficient Testing 2001-08-30 14:55:25.0
is a kind of testing
uses a strategy that uncovers as many defects as possible

testing can find defects whose consequences are obvious but which are buried in complex code, and thus will be hard to detect when inspecting 2001-08-30 14:57:56.0
involves thinking of what could go wrong without actually studying the software
is complementary to inspecting
requires attention to detail
