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.

Introduction
A software standard can be said to be a standard, a set of guidelines, a guide or a protocol, or some other types of methods that can be used for recording and accepting which is used by different software developers while they are in the processing of various computer programs. Standards are considered to play an essential role as it empowers inter dependency on the operability between various programs that have been made by various engineers. As discussed above, interdependency on operability is important to be ensured so that various disorders and defects effective, perfect and effective assemblies are decreased to a considerable extent. Standards can be considered to be a part of international resolution from around the globe and for the most part universally perceived, and require the most all around perceived prescribed procedures, or they can be provincially custom-made to address the issues of a specific area.
The analysis comprises of two standards, one is the international standard and the other one is a local standard.
· International standard: ISO/IEC 9126 Software engineering — Product quality
· Regional standard: AS/NZS ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119.2:2015 Software and Systems Engineering- Software testing
International standard
Standard name
· ISO/IEC 9126 Software engineering — Product quality
· Terms and definitions: Level of performance
The guidelines that apply to ISO/IEC 9126 also apply truly to the standard. The level to which all the requirements are accorded are represented by a certain set of values which are related to their quality or other characteristics.
International Standard Organization is authorized for the copyright of this standard (LI, WANG, LIU, ZHENG & LI, 2014).
Scope of international standard
This standard plays an essential role in software testing. It incorporates various examples, set of rules and indicators which can be used for analytical testing and will effectively give the desired results. It comprises of four parts:
· Quality Models- This section focusses on the quality and characteristic of software to be used. It also elaborates the specifications of the software and demonstrates its features and methods of use.
· External Indicators-These indicators evaluate the quality, behavior of the software products. It involves the testing, operation as well as observance of the software or system to be executed.
· Internal Metrics: This standard focusses on the internal metrics that can simply be implemented to the non-executable software products during designing and coding.
· Using Quality Indicators: Lastly, this standard specifies the level to which the product would meet its specific needs. The usage of such standards ensures the effectiveness, safety, productivity, as well as satisfaction of the product in a given specific environment (Offutt, 2009).
This standard is in accordance with the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electro technical Commission). These two institutions incorporate a professional system of global...
