Any analysis, including software testing is aimed at finding bugs. A bug is a deviation of the actual result (certain actions) from the expected result. What is testing for? The testing phase allows the developers to find bugs before the users do as once users get disappointed with improper behavior […] Read More
The development of an automation strategy is a challenging task. It is well known that the scope of software testing should be defined before making a decision about automation. The term “defined” means that testing is integrated into the software life cycle, that both test process itself and test cases […] Read More
The human-computer interface (HCI) in modern computers can cover a wide variety of peripheral devices such as a keyboard, a mouse, a keypad, a speech interface, a touch screen monitor, a light pen, a scanner, and many others. Furthermore, in the case of the use of large production control systems […] Read More
A cost-effective way to extend applications is to use distributed computing. There are two main components of the network architecture: the server and the client. The network can have thousands of servers and tens of thousands of personal desktop computers, laptops, wireless and pocket clients, each of which connects to […] Read More
Configuration variations significantly complicate the testing. In particular, such complications can arise due to the use of peripheral devices. Each peripheral device comes with a manufacturer’s driver, which is selected from a set of drivers for different operating systems. That is why personal computers are mostly designed for use in […] Read More
A requirements analyst must: Identify requirements. The requirements for the software product do not lie in plain sight and do not wait for the analyst to come and collect them. A professional analyst helps users clearly define the system functions that they need to achieve business goals. For that to […] Read More
Expert assessments are used in one form or another in most software development projects. One of the tasks assigned to personnel of the quality assurance departments is to perform statistical sampling inspection, reading and marking the user or client documentation. This type of quality control is known as peer review. […] Read More
To ensure that rapid testing will take place throughout the lifecycle of a software development project, a variety of ways to increase its efficiency must be intensively used. There are several technologies that apply not only to the test process, but also to other processes within the development cycle. It […] Read More
If a tester is assigned to test a module, which performs the transformation of data based on a certain algorithm, the most rigorous approach involves the development of input and expected resultant data that will test features, test cases, and conditions for the occurrence of algorithm errors. For example, if […] Read More
The test manager is tasked with organizing and guiding the daily progress and monitoring the quality of testing using the rapid testing methodology. In small projects, this role can be performed by a project manager. In medium-sized projects, this job position can be called a “test leader”. In the case […] Read More
Requirements analysis is the first step in building a software product, which plays a crucial role in the development life cycle. At a later stage, this process will help to optimize the team performance and employee schedules, avoid misunderstandings with the staff, and also allow us to understand whether or […] Read More
Each test plan contains features and aspects of a software application that should be left untested. The document has a specific section intended to unambiguously pre-determine which things should not be covered with test cases prepared by the testing team. The number of objects declared as “not subject to testing” […] Read More
It is clear, that no software can be tested as thoroughly as possible. But you may define the scope of your testing before setting out to design tests. If you strike the right balance between redundant and insufficient code coverage the chance of getting good coverage of the app increases. […] Read More
If one cannot differentiate defects from features how can one be good at testing?? If there is poor product’s specification and documentation it is hardly possible to tell the difference between features and defects. But what about testing process? Can it be carried out under such conditions? If there are […] Read More
Exploratory testing involves entire removal of the test scripts or relaxation of their rigidness. Testing specialists may deal with the app as they like and make use of the information provided by the program so that to react, alter course, learn about the app and generally explore its functionality without […] Read More
Manual testing requires human intervention. It is done by a person or a group of people without resorting to the automation effort. To conduct tests, a human being uses his hands, his wit and his brain to produce the scenarios that will cause the product to fail down or to […] Read More
