Test Levels? Test Types?
Who can tell me the exact difference between Test Levels and Test Types ?
Who applies Test Levels and Test Types in Agile projects?
You do need some variety in your testing, even in Agile projects!
So:
Test Varieties!
to make everyone involved aware that testing is not “one-size-fits-all”

Two approaches to testing (that may be combined)
 Experience based
1. Checklist based
both static & dynamic testing
2. Error guessing
“bug hunting”
3. Exploratory testing
Design tests during test
execution, continuously learn
and improve testing,
timeboxes & charters
Use coverage types
Page 92
 Coverage based
groups of coverage types:
1. Process
e.g. Process Cycle Test
2. Conditions
e.g. MCDC or Decision table
3. Data
e.g. Data Combination Test
4. Appearance
e.g. Syntactic or Load profile
