Testteknikk

Testteknikk, or testing techniques, refers to the systematic application of methods and procedures designed to evaluate the quality, functionality, and reliability of software or other products. The goal of testteknikk is to identify defects, verify that the product meets specified requirements, and ensure it performs as expected under various conditions. Different testing techniques are employed depending on the stage of development, the type of product, and the desired level of assurance.

Common testing techniques include black-box testing, where the internal structure of the system is not known, and white-box testing, which involves knowledge of the internal workings. Exploratory testing is an informal approach where testers simultaneously learn about the system, design tests, and execute them. Equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis are techniques used to select test cases that are likely to reveal defects efficiently. Regression testing is crucial for ensuring that new changes have not adversely affected existing functionality. Performance testing evaluates how the system behaves under load, while security testing aims to uncover vulnerabilities. The selection and application of appropriate testteknikk are vital for delivering high-quality products and minimizing risks.
