Testing

Software testing is an essential part of software development and maintenance. It helps ensure that applications and services meet their requirements, work as expected, and remain reliable when changes are introduced.

This section provides practical guidance for planning, implementing, and managing software testing at the University of Helsinki. It covers testing principles and types, test planning, test automation, test environments and test data, testing tools, and roles and responsibilities.

The testing guidelines have been developed by the University of Helsinki in cooperation with Testimate.

Use the pages in this section as guidance and adapt the testing approach to the needs, risks, and complexity of your application or service.

This guidance is still evolving.
