Incremental development model
The process of combining components or systems into larger assemblies.
Integration
Testing performed to expose defects in the interfaces and in the interactions between integrated components or systems.
Integration testing
A ___________ that does not relate to functionality, but to attributes such as reliability, efficiency, usability, maintainability and portability.
Non-functional requirement
A software product that is developed for the general market, i.e. for a large number of customers, and that is delivered to many customers in identical format.
Off-the-shelf software
A condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed document.
Requirement
The degree to which a component or system can function correctly in the presence of invalid inputs or stressful environmental conditions.

A skeletal or special-purpose implementation of a software component, used to develop or test a component that calls or is otherwise dependent on it. It replaces a called component.
Stub
The process of testing an integrated ______ to verify that it meets specified requirements.
System testing
A way of developing software where the test cases are developed, and often automated, before the software is developed to run those test cases.

Confirmation by examination and through provision of objective evidence that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled.
Validation
Confirmation by examination and through provision of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled.
Verification
A framework to describe the software development life cycle activities from requirements specification to maintenance.
V-model
A group of test activities aimed at testing a component or system focused on a specific test objective, i.e. functional test, usability test, regression test etc.
Test type
Testing based on an analysis of the specification of the f____________ of a component or system.
Functional testing
Testing, either functional or non-functional, without reference to the internal structure of the component or system.
Black-box testing
Procedure to derive and/or select test cases based on an analysis of the specification, either functional or non-functional, of a component or system without reference to its internal structure.
