Recent standards in software testing and an application

The major objective of this thesis is to study the techniques and methodologies that have been used in practice for Software Testing and understand their relevance to existing international standards. During the literature survey phase of the study a package of standards, namely ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 Standard, was discovered. Six parts of this standard covers various topics such as Concepts and Definitions, Test Processes, Test Documentation, Test Techniques, Keyword-driven Testing and finally a Guideline for Software Testing. The last part of this standard was published in July 2021. Thus, it is quite a recent standard in the field of Software Testing. Therefore, an application in Software Testing field may be considered as a valuable contribution using the relevant parts of this standard. With the aim of a real life application an available open-source Software Requirements Specification (SRS) in Banking Sector is used. During the thesis study, ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 Standard is applied on that available SRS. Since an available SRS is used in the application, testing became quite easy. Extension of the study is also included in the Conclusions Chapter of the thesis.
