Abstract

A systematic approach to testing a software system is described. The description can be used as a guideline to establishing a test operation on a software development eject. The authors address primarily the integration test level of testing, although all levels of testing are discussed. Included are test objectives, test documentation requirements, and the use of automated test tools in the testing process. The concept and approach described are based on DOD software development life cycle standards and were used on the Air Force Logistics Command´s Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS) project
