Tester's dictionary [I-R]

Maintainability 

Maintainability is defined as the ease with which changes can be done to a system. These changes may be necessary to fix the bug, adaptation of the system to a meet a new requirement, addition of new functionality, removal of existing functionality when errors are occur and can be perfected, adapted action taken to reduce further maintenance costs.

Manual Testing 

Manual Testing is a process carried out to find the defects. In this method the tester plays an important role as end user and cross verifies all features of the application to make sure the behavior of the application. The Manual Testing is a type of testing which helps to identify the defects in the application. It is primary testing, to be carried out to start automating the test cases and needs to check the automation testing is do able or not.

Model Based Testing 

Model-based testing is an application of model-based design for designing and optionally also executing artifacts to perform software testing. 

Modified Condition Coverage 

Modified condition is also known as decision coverage is a structural coverage criterion requiring that the condition within a decision is shown by execution to independently and correctly affect the output of the decision. This criterion was developed to help meet the need for extensive testing of complex Boolean expressions in safety-critical applications. The modified condition is a code coverage criterion that requires:

• Each entry and exit point is invoked
• Each decision tries every possible outcome
• Each condition in a decision takes on every possible outcome
• Each condition in a decision is shown to independently affect the outcome of the   decision

Modularity Driven Testing 

Software testing method, which is used for the creation of independent small scripts that represent functions, modules and sections of the application. It is usually performed by the testing team.

Monkey Testing 

It is a random type of testing carried out by automated testing tools. Example: a monkey test can enter random strings into text boxes to make sure that handling of all possible user input.

Mutation Testing 

Mutation testing is a technique of testing in which source code is deliberately manipulated, followed by suite of testing against the mutated code. The mutations introduced to code are designed to imitate common programming errors.
