What is LCSAJ Testing?

LCSAJ testing requires a model of the source code which identifies control flow jumps (where control flow does not pass to a sequential statement). An LCSAJ (Linear Code Sequence and Jump) is defined by a triple, conventionally identified by line numbers in a source code listing: the start of the linear code sequence, the end of the linear code sequence, and the target line to which control flow is transferred.

Test cases shall be designed to exercise LCSAJs.
For each test case, the following shall be specified:
- the input(s) to the component;
- identification of the LCSAJ(s) to be executed by the test case;
- the expected outcome of the test case.

    There isnt enough information on LCSAJ Testing. This has helped me. Going to buy your exam papers too.

    "Linear code sequence and jump (LCSAJ) is a software analysis method used to identify structural units in code under test. Its primary use is with dynamic software analysis to help answer the question "How much testing is enough?".[1] Dynamic software analysis is used to measure the quality and efficacy of software test data, where the quantification is performed in terms of structural units of the code under test. When used to quantify the structural units exercised by a given set of test data, dynamic analysis is also referred to as coverage analysis."

    The exam papers on there are top notch, if you're sitting ISEB you would be foulish not to download it.

    I also recommend Brian Hambling book for extra background reading.

    Brian Hambling book is really good covers LCSAJ in depth.

What is State Transition Testing?

Image
State transition testing uses a model of the states the component may occupy, the transitions between those states, the events which cause those transitions, and the actions which may result from those transitions. The model shall comprise states, transitions, events, actions and their relationships.   The states of the model shall be disjoint, identifiable and finite in number.   Events cause transitions between states, and transitions can return to the same state where they began.   Events will be caused by inputs to the component, and actions in the state transition model may cause outputs from the component. The model will typically be represented as a state transition diagram, state transition model, or a state table. Test cases shall be designed to exercise transitions between states.   A test case may exercise any number of transitions.   For each test case, the following shall be specified: -   the starting state of the component          -   the input(s) to the compo

1. Which of the following statements contains the correct use of the terminology? a) a fault by a person may introduce an error into the software that may cause a failure in operation b) a failure by a person may introduce a fault into the software that may cause an error in operation c) an error made by a person may introduce a fault into the software that may cause a failure in operation d) an error made by a person may introduce a failure into the software that may cause a fault in operation e) a failure by a person may cause an error in the software that may cause a fault in operation 2.   A reliable system will be one that: a) is unlikely to be completed on schedule b) is unlikely to cause a failure c) is likely to be fault-free d) is likely to be liked by the users e) includes a minimum number of components 3.   Which of the following statements about ‘Integration Testing in the Small’ is false? a) It can combine all the components together in one go
