3、6IEEE-SA Standards BoardApproved 18 April 2003American National Standards InstituteIEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of theIEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensu
4、s develop-ment process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing variedviewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve with-out compensation. While the IEEE administer
5、s the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus devel-opment process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information containedin its standards.Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any
6、personal injury, property or other dam-age, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resultingfrom the publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accurac

IEEE Standards documents are s
8、upplied “AS IS.”The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market,or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at thetime a standard is approved and issued i
9、s subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art andcomments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revi-sion or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed
10、, it is reasonable to concludethat its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to checkto determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggest

When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Instit
13、ute will initiate action to prepareappropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important to ensure that anyinterpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of itssocieties and Standar

Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation wi

20、sThis standards primary objective is to specify a standard approach to software unit testing that can be usedas a basis for sound software engineering practice.A second objective is to describe the software engineering concepts and testing assumptions on which thisstandard approach is based. This in
21、formation is contained in Appendix B. Note that Appendix B is not a partof this standard.A third objective is to provide guidance and resource information to assist with the implementation andusage of the standard unit testing approach. This information is contained in Appendixes A, C, and D. Noteth
22、at these Appendixes are not a part of this standard.MotivationA consensus definition of sound unit testing provides a baseline for the evaluation of specific approaches. Italso aids communication by providing a standard decomposition of the unit testing process.AudienceThe primary audience for this
23、standard is unit testers and unit test supervisors. This standard was developedto assist those who provide input to, perform, supervise, monitor, and evaluate unit testing.Relationship with Other Software Engineering StandardsANSI/IEEE Std 829-1983, IEEE Standard for Software Test Documentation, des
24、cribes the basic informationneeds and results of software testing. This unit testing standard requires the use of the test design specifica-tion and test summary report specified in ANSI/IEEE Std 829-1983. This standard is one of a series aimed at establishing the norms of professional practice in s
25、oftwareengineering. Any of the other software engineering standards in the series may be used in conjunction withit.TerminologyTerminology in this standard is consistent with ANSI/IEEE Std 729-1983, IEEE Standard Glossary ofSoftware Engineering Terminology. To avoid inconsistency when the glossary i
26、s revised, its definitions arenot repeated in this standard.The test unitreferred to in this standard is a specific case of the test itemreferred to in ANSI/IEEE 829-1983.The term test unitis used because of this standards narrower scope. The use of the term specification, description, or document r
27、efers to data recorded on either an electronic orpaper medium.The word must and imperative verb forms identify mandatory material within the standard. The wordsshould and may identify optional material.ivOverviewThe unit testing process is composed of three phasesthat are partitioned into a total of
28、 eight basic activitiesas follows:1)Perform the test planninga) Plan the general approach, resources, and scheduleb) Determine features to be testedc) Rene the general plan2)Acquire the test seta) Design the set of testsb) Implement the rened plan and design3)Measure the test unita) Execute the test
29、 proceduresb) Check for terminationc) Evaluate the test effort and unitThe major dataows into and out of the phases are shown in Fig A.Fig A Major Dataows of the Software Unit Testing PhasesWithin a phase, each basic activity is associated with its own set of inputs and outputs and is composed of as
30、eries of tasks. The inputs, tasks, and outputs for each activity are specied in the body of this standard.The set of outputs from all activities must contain sufcient information for the creation of at least two doc-umentsa test design specication and a test summary report. Both documents must confo
31、rm to the speci-cations in ANSI/IEEE Std 829-1983.vHistoryWork on this standard began in February 1983, following announcement of the formation of the task groupin the technical and commercial press in late 1982. The project authorization request was approved by theIEEE Standards Board on June 23, 1
32、983 following the second meeting. A total of seven meetings heldthroughout the United States at three month intervals produced the draft submitted for ballot in March 1985.A total of over 90 persons contributed to the initial development of this standard. Contributors are those indi-viduals who eith
33、er attended a working-group meeting, submitted written comments on a draft, or both.This standard was developed by a working group with the following members:David Gelperin, Chair A.

Scope and References1.1 Inside the ScopeSoftware unit testing is a process that includes the performance of test planning, the a
48、cquisition of a test set,and the measurement of a test unit against its requirements. Measuring entails the use of sample data to exer-cise the unit and the comparison of the units actual behavior with its required behavior as specied in theunits requirements documentation.This standard denes an int
49、egrated approach to systematic and documented unit testing. The approach usesunit design and unit implementation information, in addition to unit requirements, to determine the com-pleteness of the testing.This standard describes a testing process composed of a hierarchy of phases, activities, and tasks and denesa minimum set of tasks for each activity. Additional tasks may be added to any activity.This standard requires the performance of each activity. For each task within an activity, this standardrequires either that the task be performed, or that previous resul
