and: Testing Methodology Summary

• TOGAF - The Open Group Architecture Framework, - a well-documented body of knowledge comprising a detailed method and a set of supporting tools for developing enterprise architectures. (Not purely limited to Information Technology)

• COSCO - Committee of Sponsoring Organisations (COSO) - enterprise risk management (ERM) model has become a widely-accepted framework for organisations to use.
 

• ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) - is a best practice framework for ITSM, made up of:
• ITIL Service Strategy ›
  helps organizations understand the merits of using a market-driven approach made up of
• service portfolio management 
• financial management for IT services 
• demand management 
• business relationship management 
• strategy management for IT services
• ITIL Service Design ›
  provides a holistic design approach to help an organization deliver better services.The five key aspects of Service Design are:
  
• Designing the service solution
• Management information systems and tools
• Technology
• Processes
• Measurements and metrics
• ITIL Service Transition ›
  helps plan and manage the change of state of a service in its lifecycle. Managing risk for new, changed and retired services protects the product environment.
• ITIL Service Operation ›
  encompasses the day-to-day activities, processes, and infrastructure responsible for delivering value to the business through technology.
  The five key aspects of Service Design are:
• Incident Management 
• Request Fulfillment 
• Event Management 
• Access Management 
• Problem Management

• Continual Service Improvement ›
  (CSI) uses a metrics-driven approach to identifying opportunities for improvement and to measure the impact of improvement efforts.

• ITSM (IT Service Management) - IT Service Management is a general term that describes a strategic approach for designing, delivering, managing and improving the way information technology (IT) is used within an organization. 

• AGILE - software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.
• scrum - Scrum is a subset of Agile. It is a lightweight process framework for agile development, and the most widely-used one. A Scrum process is distinguished from other agile processes by specific concepts and practices, divided into the three categories of 
• Roles, 
• Artifacts, and 
• Time Boxes.
• sprint - (or iteration) is the basic unit of development in scrum.
  The sprint is a timeboxed effort; that is, it is restricted to a specific duration
• epic - captures a large body of work. It is essentially a large user story that can be broken down into a number of smaller stories. It may take several sprints to complete an epic
•  user story - a tool used to capture a description of a software feature from an end-user perspective.

• Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test, and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards 

• Behavior-driven development combines the general techniques and principles of TDD with ideas from domain-driven design and object-oriented analysis and design to provide software development and management teams with shared tools and a shared process to collaborate on software development
