• Stability Testing
• Usability Testing

The British Computer Society has given ISO permission to use the BS-7925-1/2 Component Testing standard as a basis for this part of the standard. ISO 29119 will eventually supersede BS-7925-1/2. For more information on BS-7925-1/2 refer to http://testingstandards.co.uk/.
