QA standards (e.g. ISO 9000)
-System testing should be performed
industry-specific standards (e.g. railway, pharmaceutical, medical)
-what level of Software/system testing should be performed
testing standards (e.g. BS 7925-1&2)
-how to perform testing
There are a number of different standards for testing from the Quality Management standard (ISO 9000 series) which tells us that testing should be done, to industry specific standards that detail the level of testing to be performed. The most recent testing standards are those adopted by the ISEB – namely BS7925-1 and BS7925-2. The latter tells us how we should perform the testing.
