A test case specifies the inputs, timing, procedure, and expected results required for an execution. The same input can correspond to different behavior in a different state or environment, so a set of test cases is usually a test suite. Dynamic validation requires executing the test suite on the system under test. Static techniques complement it and are covered in the Software Quality knowledge area.[^s1] The Guide's top-level topics for this knowledge area are: - Software Testing Fundamentals - Test Levels - Test Techniques - Test-Related Measures - Test Process - Software Testing in the Development Processes and the Application Domains - Testing of and Testing Through Emerging Technologies - Software Testing Tools Software-testing standards listed in the Guide's appendix include [[work_ieee_29119_2_2021_9591506|ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2:2021]] (test processes), [[work_ieee_29119_3_2021_9591575|ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3:2021]] (test documentation), and [[work_ieee_29119_4_2021_9591512|ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4:2021]] (test techniques).[^s1] /concepts/software-testing.html en zh en theme One knowledge area of SWEBOK Guide v4.0a. en zh en concept_kind Theme aliases 软件测试 scope_note One knowledge area of SWEBOK Guide v4.0a. 1 50 0 0
