The main idea behind the general V-model is that development and testing tasks are corresponding activities of equal importance. The left branch of the V-model represents the development process and they are very closely related to what we know from the waterfall model.
For this week’s learning activity, you are going to build a concept map defining component testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing and how they relate to or complement each other.
In addition to your concept map, write a paper that addresses the following:
- Describes each of the above-mentioned types of testing.
- Explains how these testing types map to the V-model development process.
Post a link to your concept map in this discussion form and attach your paper. Your paper should be 600 words.
