SAS 70 Type II Audit – Data Security

IT Notes → Testing @ December 22, 2020

SAS (Statement on Auditing Standards)

  • Compatibility testing – testing how well software performs in a particular hardware/software/operating system/network/etc. environment.
  • Exploratory testing – often taken to mean a creative, informal software test that is not based on formal test plans or test cases; testers may be learning the software as they test it.
  • Ad-hoc testing – similar to exploratory testing, but often taken to mean that the testers have significant understanding of the software before testing it.
  • Context-driven testing – testing driven by an understanding of the environment, culture, and intended use of software. For example, the testing approach for life-critical medical equipment software would be completely different than that for a low-cost computer game.
  • Comparison testing – comparing software weaknesses and strengths to competing products.
  • Mutation testing – a method for determining if a set of test data or test cases is useful, by deliberately introducing various code changes (‘bugs’) and retesting with the original test data/cases to determine if the ‘bugs’ are detected. Proper implementation requires large computational resources.
