The purpose is to give all team members a shared understanding of the fundamental terminology of quality assurance and all related processes. Later, this will improve communication and reviews quality. It will further increase the testing capabilities of each member. In this part, we will talk about the different testing types.

When we talk about quality we may think of a fine piece of furniture or the quality service we receive at a fancy restaurant but what does quality mean in the context of software? I find that when we talk about the domain of ideas, and software is in the domain of ideas, that we often use metaphors that are based upon the physical world and are not always accurate. In the physical world, the notion of quality has to do with fine craftsmanship and longevity.

If we speak about open source tools, we definitely see some improvement – but in many areas they are still behind the best commercial tools (yes, many may not need these advanced features and yes, often there are other ways to do it – but when you need them, it is a problem) and it doesn’t appear that we see many (if any) new interesting products.

Regression Testing, by its definition, is a type of software testing to confirm that a recent program or code change has not adversely affected existing features. It is done to make sure that the existing application is intact with the newly added features and nothing is broken. In order to achieve that, the existing test cases are executed selectively or sometimes completely. Regression testing ensures that the old code still works once the new code changes are done.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed like a difference between function definitions, particularly f() vs f(void).
