The KS X ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4-2018(2023) standard, published by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KR-KATS) on December 26, 2018, is part of a series of standards that define best practices in software testing. This specific document focuses on Test Techniques as the fourth part of the Software Testing Series.
The KS X ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4 standard provides detailed guidance for selecting and applying various test techniques during different stages of software development. These techniques are crucial for ensuring that software meets specified requirements, identifies defects early in the lifecycle, and enhances overall product quality. The standard emphasizes practical approaches to testing that can be applied across a wide range of software projects.
The content within KS X ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4 includes recommendations on black box techniques such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table testing, and use case-based testing. Additionally, it covers white box techniques like statement coverage, decision coverage (branch coverage), condition coverage, modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) and more.
The standard also addresses the application of test techniques in a risk-driven context, suggesting that testers should prioritize their efforts based on the criticality and complexity of software components. Furthermore, it encourages organizations to adopt a comprehensive testing strategy that integrates manual and automated testing methods effectively.
