Software Testing Terms and Meaning - Part 3

CAST
Computer Aided Software Testing
Code Coverage
An analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered) by the test case suite and which parts have not been executed and therefore may require additional attention.
Compatibility Testing
Testing whether the system is compatible with other systems with which it should communicate.
Component Testing
The testing of individual software components.
Concurrency Testing
Multi-user testing geared towards determining the effects of accessing the same application code, module or database records. Identifies and measures the level of locking, deadlocking and use of single-threaded code and locking semaphores
Conformance Testing / Compliance Testing / Standards Testing
Conformance testing or type testing is testing to determine whether a system meets some specified standard. To aid in this, many test procedures and test setups have been developed, either by the standard's maintainers or external organizations, specifically for testing conformance to standards. Conformance testing is often performed by external organizations, sometimes the standards body itself, to give greater guarantees of compliance. Products tested in such a manner are then advertised as being certified by that external organization as complying with the standard
Context Driven Testing
The context-driven school of software testing is flavor of Agile Testing that advocates continuous and creative evaluation of testing opportunities in light of the potential information revealed and the value of that information to the organization right now.
Conversion Testing / Migration Testing
Testing of programs or procedures used to convert data from existing systems for use in replacement systems.
Coverage Testing
Coverage testing is concerned with the degree to which test cases exercise or cover the logic (source code) of the software module or unit. It is also a measure of coverage of code lines, code branches and code branch combinations
Cyclomatic Complexity
A measure of the logical complexity of an algorithm, used in white-box testing
