Reading Software Testing by R. Patton... I came up with a new way to test my software!

 Software Testing

According to the text by R. Patton, software testing is done in modules. The initial image depicted Module A, Module B, Module C, Module D, Module E, Module F, Module G, Module H, Module I, Module J at the bottom of the image in individual boxes. Above these were tiers of groupings of these types that consisted of: 
Module BCD, Module EF2, Module GHJ3, Module ABCD4, Module ABCDEF5
These were connected in tiers near their corresponding individual modules as groups that led to the Main Program at the very top. 

Noticing these connections, I have endured the stillness in thought in trying to explain my dilemma of how unit testing and debugging were conducted by a project management POV as unknowing to where to start, what to look for, and how to map these corresponding connections as relevant to operating system and program efficiencies for using these separate modules (or classes) together. 

Below is an edited version in my thinking of how the Main Program with testing is conducted when using individual modules (or classes) to configure together. 
Some notes on the adjustments I made:
  • Not every module is used in accordance with complex modules, and not mentioned within the module as a connection. 
  • The complex modules are acquired through successful grouping where the addition of a single component from that context indicates a stage of inclusion that can be an altered state of option.
  • From AB to ABC, this is indicating separate results using the same resources found in the individual components. These may not necessarily be successful groups for those results. This must be indicated separately in the main program as such. 
  • All of these components are encompassed to represent the Main Program components, but none of them directly lead to Main Program from a successful grouping because the results range based on the modules used. 
Software Testing Modules with Main Program and Unit Testing

For the Unit Testing of this Main Program example, I wanted to indicate that these separate modules were different after their successful grouping and results internal their connections. This means that as the Main Program functions, how does it function without a single module overall and how to keep it operating without that module as key for default settings in larger applications/programs that require optimal uptime for securing the results from each complex module. 

When successful grouping of modules can acquire their performance levels to result from the same modules with separate connections and purposes for results, it is operational for a specific set of tasks inserted through individual modules. Testing these separately from the entire Main Program help fine-tune the individual component construction with White-Box Testing techniques to assure overall system performance by setting in at the foundation of the main program without re-structuring the entire system. 

Restructuring how I perceive the Main Program and the encounters of software testing used as a foundational support for the program as modular coding practices are used for decoupling techniques for refactoring and integration purposes (like in ASP.NET) - means understanding that this cannot be evaluated by a start and end or a pyramid structure - it has to be broken down and relatable to each other as necessary factors for defining its foundation. 

This is very important for any program to encounter in styles of testing for bugs that would be internal or embedded within connections, built-in features, or syntax errors for conversion efforts and navigation. I often found myself lost in navigation efforts because I was duplicating code in different factions of the program without compensating loss or gains in other parts of the program because I liked the results it provided (for example: using the image provided, module ABC + D depicts this style of programming. Inclusions are one module at a time, but this may be ineffective to one portion of the main program that is difficult to sort through all components and their connections effectively which may result with bugs undetected with those coding inclusion styles, it can be unreliable!). This might be a confliction, a template prone habit, and successful grouping crutch that I developed when coding. 

It is difficult to dissect the program functions, program results, program connections, program data apart from the Main Program overall when everything is laid out as a flow chart. These may be connected in UX designs but it is not depicted in System Performance Designs for results regarding UX Designs and their options. This may be new to the IT Field as I continue learning my role in the Software Developer field. (For example: using the image provided, the unit testing side dissects the main program one module at a time so that it still can operate without that module, that module results, that module connection. You can easily find those connections and control the module at this point, which means modifying the original individual component into decoupling factions that are fine-tuned after stub-testing modules or skeleton architecture can be defined as you code complex results as the Main Program to surface for UX results.)
