What is Stub testing in information system?
The course is analysis and design and it's not show in the subject so i choose operations management just to complete the process !!!
In information system stub testing involves making use of programs for the purpose of stimulating the behavior of software modules and components. The programs that are used are called test stubs. These test stubs serve as temporary replacement for a called basin module. While being a temporary replacement they still are able to give the same output as the actual software itself.
Stub testing in information system is an important part of integration testing. In case of integration testing the individual units are combined and then they are tested as a combined and collective group. In case of the top down approach of integration testing stub testing helps to simulate lower level units as these may not be available during the initial phases. This allows the integration testing to adopt the top down approach in which top-level units are tested first and lower-level units are tested subsequently in a step by step manner.
