Description: Structured testing is a systematic approach to testing that is based on the structure of the software. This method focuses on the architecture and design of the system, allowing developers and testers to identify and evaluate the interactions between different components of the software. By creating test cases that reflect the internal structure of the system, the goal is to ensure that each part functions correctly and that the interfaces between modules are robust. Structured testing is particularly useful in various development environments, including behavior-driven development (BDD), where collaboration between developers, testers, and stakeholders is prioritized to define the expected behavior of the software. This approach not only improves the quality of the final product but also facilitates early error detection, which can significantly reduce long-term development costs. Additionally, by being aligned with the structure of the software, these tests can be easier to maintain and update as the system evolves, making them a valuable tool in the software development lifecycle.
