8.1 Development testing
Development testing includes all testing activities that are carried out by the team developing the system. The tester of the software is usually the programmer who developed that software. Some development processes use programmer/tester pairs (Cusamano and Selby 1998) where each programmer has an associated tester who develops tests and assists with the testing process. For critical systems, a more formal process may be used, with a separate testing group within the development team. This group is responsible for developing tests and maintaining detailed records of test results.
