Test Automation

Test Automation primer (Things to consider) Commitment to development. Cost QA resource Expectation Why we need to automate? Saves time and money Improves accuracy Increase test coverage Does what manual testing can't cover. Assists developers. Test Driven Development   Add test Watch Test Fail Write Code Run Tests Refractor Repeat 1 Best Practice Setup - Put the Unit Under Test (UUT) or the overall test system in the state needed to run the test. Execution - Trigger / driver the UUT to perform the target behavior and capture all output. Validation …

Platform specialization

Cloud Testing Stress Compatibility Functional Browser performance Latency Load & performance Cloud Steps Develop user Scenarios Design test case. Select cloud Service provider Setup Infrastructure. Leverage Cloud servers Start testing Monitor Testing Goals deliver Results Package implementation Packaged solutions can usually be implemented faster and cheaper than developing the solution from scratch. The total time and cost required for a package implementation project may still be substantial.

Non functional Testing

Usability Is it fit for purpose? Measures the capacity the application has to meet its users needs. Hailway testing to look for show-stoppers.  Accessibility Accessibility testing is a subset of usability testing. Where the users under consideration have disabilities that affect how they use the application. The goal, in both usability and accessibility , is to discover how easily people can use a website and feed that information back into improving feature designs and implementations. Performance Load Testing Simplest form of performance testing. Unde…

Functional Testing Approach

White Box Glass Box Clear-box testing Rules Testers must have knowledge of what is going on inside the application The tester should be concentrating on how the software does its job.A structured technique wants to know how loops in the software are working. Structural testing can be used at all levels of testing.Developers use structural testing in component testing and component integration testing especially where there is good tool support for code coverage. White Box testing Ideally a tester will have some programming knowledge. Scripted testing Sc…

Testing type

Unit Testing a small part of code , instead of the finished product. Write code easier to test In depth tests. Integration Individual code components are merged together or with preexisting software project. The overall idea is a "building block" approach, in which verified assemblages are added to a verified base which is then used to support the integration testing of further assemblages. System System testing is the prime objective of any software product.It conducts testing of whole software product to identify the errors in software. Reg…

Phases of software testing

Who perform the tests. QA(Quality Assurance) team should perform all tests,developers will only sanity check their applications' Under QA manager => QA Leader Under QA Leader => QA Designers  QA Engineers  Automation QA Engineers Test scope Scope defined by requirements. Make boundaries clear in test preparation document. Common Testing tools Ticketing system ( e..g. Bugzilla,osTicket,Trac etc ) Automated testing tools.( e.g.Selenium etc ) Load testing tools(e.g. Seige ( HTTP load testing & benchmarking utility) ) Testing strategies & …

Configuring the test system

Considerations: Documentation of live system. Verification. Debug information. Platform separation. Rollback. The ideal QA environment Virtualized. Deployed or verified by project team. Rollback Root privileges. Operating the test system Who is using the test system? (Names of testers,ensure only QA team has access) Load test scheduling (When will the system be put under load).  Destructive testing (Destructive to break it). Destructive testing Destructive software is a type of software testing which attempts to cause a piece of software to fail in an u…

Defining test procedures / method

A test procedure is a method in which you will produce test results,when documented it should include: Descriptive title. Scope of test subjects (code version). Date of software version. Person,office or agency responsible for questions on the test method,updates and derivations. The significance or important of the test method and its intended use. Terminology. A listing of the types of testing of testing apparatus. Safety precaution. Environmental consideration. Results sampling,how logs etc will be captured. Preparation of test data. Detailed procedu…

What to test and How to test?

Code Coverage A measure used to display the degree in which the source code of a program is tested by a test set. Good test coverage     Test code coverage         It will create additional test cases to increase coverage and it also helps to find areas of a program not exercised by a set of test cases.         It also help in determining a quantitative measure of code coverage, which is indirectly measure the quality of the application or product. Fault injection -->Exhaust all outcomes of code decision. -->Error handling -->Stress testing --&…

Unveiling the Essence of Software Testing: A Comprehensive Guide

In the dynamic landscape of software development, quality assurance is paramount. One of the crucial pillars in ensuring software reliability is thorough testing. In this blog post, we'll explore the purpose of software testing, shedding light on its significance in the development life cycle. Why Software Testing Matters: Testing serves as the litmus test for the quality of the software being developed. It operates under the assumption that defects exist, waiting to be unearthed. This perspective is seldom challenged, and for good reason – early de…
