Fortunately, there are tools and techniques that help in the process of peeling back the layers of the unknown system structure and function.
After diagnosing a dirty system's functionality and structure, then developing a test plan to validate the system, it's time to test the system. It is during test execution of a dirty system that unexpected functions are discovered and strange things happen that require further investigation. All of the work performed in the diagnostic and test planning steps will prove to be very valuable in building a basis for test execution.
Although surprises may arise, the prior research and planning will help greatly in predicting and isolating defects. Much like an exterminator knows where to find certain kinds of pests due to the knowledge of where they thrive, you can also become an expert software bug exterminator by identifying common breeding ground for categories of software bugs.
The 20 Most Common Software Problems. After over 30 years of combined software defect analysis performed by ourselves and colleagues, we have identified 20 common software problems. These common software problems appear in a wide variety of applications and environments, but are especially prone to be seen in dirty systems.
Incorrect calculations - This is seen in functions such as financial and date calculations. The key determinant is whenever mathematical functions and mathematical operators are involved. Incorrect data edits - This is when the software does not apply existing data edits correctly.
For example, a data edit may be coded to prohibit the entry of the day of the month greater than "31", but does not allow for the month. This would allow the entry of February 30 and other invalid dates.
Ineffective data edits - This is when data edits are in place and working correctly, yet still fail to prevent incorrect data from being entered into the system. An example of this is an alphanumeric address field that allows spaces to be entered before any numbers or letters in the address. Therefore, when searches or sorts are performed on the address field, the search or sort may not find the intended address. These defects can be traced back to incorrect, missing, or vague system requirements specifications, or to the misinterpretation of requirements specifications.
If you are asking, "What specifications? What requirements? Inadequate software performance - This refers to slow system response times and transaction throughput rates.
Confusing or misleading data - This means that the data shown to users may be correct, but the users might not fully understand how to interpret the data.
