This tutorial aims to enhance your understanding of reviews in the context of static testing. Reviews are an essential part of static testing that helps in detecting errors at the early stages of software development.
Static testing involves reviewing the code, requirements, and design documents to identify errors. The objective is to catch and fix errors early in the development process, which can save time and resources.
There are several types of reviews. The most common ones include:
- Informal Reviews: These are casual reviews without a documented procedure.
- Walkthroughs: The author leads these reviews and the team members ask questions for clarification.
- Technical Reviews: These are peer group discussions to identify issues and make decisions.
- Inspections: These are the most formal type of reviews where all errors are logged and reviewed for correction.
The review process consists of six stages:
1. Planning: Decide on the type of review and select the review team.
2. Kick-off: The team is informed about the objectives and the documents to be reviewed.
3. Preparation: The reviewers examine the documents and note down potential issues.
4. Review Meeting: The team discusses the identified issues.
5. Rework: The author addresses the issues raised during the meeting.
6. Follow-up: Ensure that all identified issues have been addressed.
In HTML development, reviews can help identify issues like syntax errors, incorrect tags, and non-compliance with HTML standards. They help improve the quality of the code and enhance the performance of the website.
<!-- This is a simple HTML document -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
<p>This is my first website.</p>
</body>
</html>
In the above example, a reviewer might check for proper use of HTML tags, doctype declaration, and the structure of the HTML document.
In this tutorial, we have covered the basics of reviews in static testing, different types of reviews, the review process, and the significance of reviews in HTML development. As a next step, consider practicing reviewing HTML code and familiarize yourself with different review techniques.
Review the following HTML code. Identify any issues and suggest corrections.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<headd>
<title>My Second Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Second Website</h2>
<p>This is my second website.</p>
</body>
</html>
<headd> tag is incorrect. It should be <head>.<h1> tag is closed with a </h2> tag. The closing tag should match the opening tag. It should be </h1>.Corrected Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Second Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Second Website</h1>
<p>This is my second website.</p>
</body>
</html>
Review the following HTML code. Identify any issues and suggest corrections.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Third Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Third Website</h1>
<p>This is my third website.
</body>
</html>
<p> tag is not closed. It should be </p> after the paragraph text.Corrected Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Third Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Third Website</h1>
<p>This is my third website.</p>
</body>
</html>
Keep practicing reviewing HTML code to enhance your skills. Happy coding!
