Commercial software system has to go through 3 stages of testing as following:

• Development testing, component testing and system testing.

• Development testing, release testing and user testing.

There are 3 types of user testing EXCEPT:

• Alpha testing

• Beta testing

• System testing

• Acceptance testing

Which one is NOT advantages of inspections?

• During testing, error can mask the other errors.

• Incomplete versions of a system can be inspected with additional costs.

• As well as searching for program defects, an inspection also can consider broader quality attributes of a program, such as compliance with standard, portability and maintainability.

Prototyping, inspection and reviews and model analysis are the techniques for validation. True or false?

• True

• False
