What is Software Testing? The search engine 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.
Software Testing Procedures 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 the whole. https://www.exltech.in/software-testing-course.html
1. Test strategy and test plan Every project needs a testing strategy and a test plan. These artifacts describe the test area for a project: • The systems that need to be tested and all specific configurations * The features and functions that are the focus of the project * Test approach-traditional, explorative, automation, etc. - or a mixture * Tools for the detection of errors, for test case scripting, traceability * Test environment requirements and setup * Risks, dependencies and contingencies * Test plan * Approval workflows * Entry /Exit Criteria
2.What do you mean?Test Design 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 original requirements. Test-design as a process is a grouping of Test Manager experience with similar 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 completely fail-safe.
3.Test execution 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. 4.Test Lock 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.
of the initial criteria in general: * 100% requirement coverage: all business and technical requirements must be covered by Tests. * Minimum % pass rate: targeting 90% of all test cases to be passed is best practice. * Fix all critical defects: self-explanatory. You're critical for one reason.
