Abstract
There are many different views on software testing co-exist even within the borders of one
organization. That is why we have decided to prepare software testing overview on metalevel
indicating main influencers that make this difference. While gathering the details about
meta-level elements we have performed some structuring of elements from lower level of
software testing such as testing oracles and testing approaches, methods, and techniques.
The overview preparation has resulted into laying the scientific basis under proper use of
such terms as testing approach, testing method, and testing technique.
Our overview could be useful for making ordered introduction into software testing for fresh
minds of testing newbies, while we recognize that in practice it can be hard to make sharpcut
edges between some software testing elements described here.
