Testing
plays a critical role in the development of software-reliant systems.
Even with the most diligent efforts of requirements engineers,
designers, and programmers, faults inevitably occur. These faults are
most commonly discovered and removed by testing the system and comparing
what it does to what it is supposed to do. This blog posting summarizes
a method that improves testing outcomes (including efficacy and cost)
in a software-reliant system by using an architectural design approach,
which describes a coherent set of architectural decisions taken by
architects to help meet the behavioral and quality attribute
requirements of systems being developed.
