I have provided you the sample of the assignment from another student from previous year just for reference but he had the another assignment. it is the criteria you need to follow. Thank you
CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH7409 Assig 1 Sem 1 2019-07 Page 1 of 5 ITECH7409 Software Testing Assignment 1 Individual Research on Software Testing and Standards Overview According to Standards Australia: “Standards are published documents setting out specifications and procedures designed to ensure products, services and systems are safe, reliable and consistently perform the way they were intended to. They establish a common language which defines quality and safety criteria.” There are several standards, international and national, that relate specifically to software testing. Standards formalize industry best practice and they are agreed upon by professionals in the industry in which the standards apply to. This assignment is an investigation into those standards. The purpose of the assignment is to help you to:- improve your research and comprehension skills develop a good understanding of professional industry standards for software testing appreciate the value of various processes and methods used in industry to test and evaluate software systems Timelines and Expectations Marks and Percentage Value of Task: 100 marks 10% Due: Thursday, May 2, 2019 @16:00 (Week 7) Minimum time expectation: 10 hours Learning Outcomes Assessed K1.

Apply effective testing techniques to software systems of varying scales and test levels A1. Develop and maintain plans for scheduling quality assurance tasks including software testing; Assessment Details You will need to: locate a research paper related to software testing that refers to at least one standard. research, comprehend and analyse each document (both the paper and the chosen standard) to find relevant details to answer a set of questions, and prepare a written summary report of findings As a suggestion, commence your search for a research paper at the Federation University website. There is a QuickSearch link on the library home page: CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH7409 Assig 1 Sem 1 2019-07 Page 3 of 5 There is also a listing of Databases A-Z (http://libguides.federation.edu.au/az.php ) which has a link for Australian Standards Online. Requirements: Questions for the standard: What is the standard name? Who holds the copyright for the standard? Amongst the acknowledged contributors to the document, which universities were involved (if any)? What is the scope or intent of the standard? What are key terms and understandings needed for the standard to be understood and applied? In your own words, what does application of the standard result in? Or, in other words, what does the standard do? Finally, what specific relevance to software testing is the standard? Discuss the paper and how it relates to the standard. For example: does the paper suggest how to improve the standard? Does the paper highlight issues in applying the standard? Attached is a sample paper (Wichmann and Cox 1992) which refers to the ANSI1/IEEE2 Standard 8293 and ANSI/IEEE Standard 1008. Although this paper is somewhat outdated, it’s serves to illustrate the task for this assignment. Prepare a report of no more than 1,500 words answering all questions. The report should have the following structure. an introduction to standards and a brief description of the research paper and chosen standard responses to questions for the standard listing and a discussion of commonalities and differences between the two documents a conclusion summarizing the report findings 1 American National Standards Institute 2 Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 3 Current versions of both these standards are available online at FedUni library http://libguides.federation.edu.au/az.php CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH7409 Assig 1 Sem 1 2019-07 Page 4 of 5 Marking Criteria/Rubric Student ID: Student name: Assessment component Mark 1.

CONCLUSION REFERENCES Assignment 1: An investigation of software development, testing standards, and test management software Introduction A software standard is standard format when developing a software.When many developers are working on the same software product it is very important to follow a format or there will be a mismatch and if a software is developed by one developer and if it is edited by one more developer then he needs to know the format of the development or else he will need to study everything in detail from beginnings this is very helpful when more than one developer is working on the same software and it is even useful for the future of the software developed by one developer so that other developer in future can add new feature for software product easily. In some research regarding Australian standards it is found that it sets a format so the software’s are aligned when they are developed and using the activities which will be discussed so in the team different members can share theirs ideas and based on that the standard will be set. Part-A Australian/New Zealand Standard Standard name: AS/NZS ISO/IEC 9126.1:2005 Nowadays computers are used very widely for many applications and they need to work in a proper way to produce proper output. It is very important for a computer to work properly because it may also be a matter of human safety.It is very important to develop or select high quality software.To ensure adequate quality the main factor is evaluation and comprehensive specification. The purpose of using software product is achieved by defining appropriate characteristics. It is very important to evaluate and specify a relevant software product quality characteristic by using some metrics which are validated and widely accepted. ISO/IEC 9126 (1991): Software product Evaluation- The quality characteristics and guidelines which are necessary for their use were developed to support some needs. Six quality characteristics and software product evolution process model is described below. The quality characteristics and associated metrics are very
