Guide to the Software testing process

1. Guide to the Software testingprocess This software testingguide is the next in-line topic on what we discussed earlier. We have discussed a diverse set of topics, and spent quite a lot of time with the discussion of software development methodologies –agile,waterfall,scrum,v-model, etc. And with goodreason. Over the years, I have noticed how process and methodology play an important role in project success—sometimes it is so important to follow the right process, like having the right person for a job. You can hire the crème de la crème for your team, but it doesn't matter if you don't have a robust process to govern yourself during delivery. What is SoftwareTesting? The internet defines software testing as the process of running a program or application with the intention of identifying errors. I define testing as a process of validation that a piece of software meets its business and technical requirements. Testing is the primary way to verify that the built product meets the requirements appropriately. https://www.exltech.in/software-testing-course.html

2. Software TestingProcedures • Agile or waterfall, Scrum, or RUP, traditional or exploratory, there is a basic process of software testing. Let's look at the components that make up thewhole. • Test strategy and testplan • Every project needs a test strategy and a test plan. These artifacts describe the test area for a project: • The systems that need to be tested and all specificconfigurations • * The features and functions that are the focus of theproject • Non-functional requirements • Test approach-traditional, explorative, automation, etc. - or amixture • Key processes to follow-for broken resolution, brokentriage • Tools for the detection of errors, for test case scripting,traceability • Obtain documentation and produce asoutput • Test environment requirements andsetup • Risks, dependencies and contingencies • Testplan • Approval workflows • Entry /ExitCriteria • What do you mean?TestDesign • Now that you have a strategy and a plan, the next step is to dive into a test-suite. A test Suite is a collection of test cases necessary to validate the built system against its originalrequirements. • Test-design as a process is a grouping of Test Manager experience withsimilar • projects over the years, the testers knowledge of the system/functionality tested, and prevailing practices in the audit to a certain point. For example, if you're working for a company in the early stages of a new product development, your focus will be on detecting major errors with the alpha/beta versions of your software and less on making the software completelyfail-safe. • Testexecution

3. You can run tests in many different ways-as a single, waterfall-SIT (system integration test) and UAT (User Acceptance Test) phases; as part of Agile sprints; supplemented by exploratory testing; test-driven development. Ultimately, you must perform a sufficient amount of software testing to ensure that your system is (relatively) error-free. • TestLock • Right—so you have made the planning necessary, carried out tests and now want your product to release green-light. You must consider the initial criteria for completing the test cycle and readiness for release. Let's look at the components of the initial criteria ingeneral: • 100 requirement coverage: all business and technical requirements must be covered byTests. • Minimum pass rate: targeting 90 of all test cases to be passed isbest • practice. • Fix all critical defects: self-explanatory. You're critical for onereason. • For moredetails:https://www.exltech.in
